What can I rest my coop on

[4 the Birds]

I like the idea of the lowes' blocks, but I also think you would get better results if you put them on a better base. Would digging a hole and filling it with gravel give it a better foundation for the pyramids to sit on?

I used those deck blocks for our house deck. They work great! Buy a tamper tool to compact the soil (they come is 6x6 or 8x8 size). You can add a 12" square paver below the block for added stability. You can add a 4x4 in the deck blocks or wood joists.

You will have the best stability if you build on undisturbed or compacted soil rather than on fill (it settles).

I'd use four of the 16 in x 16 in concrete pavers sold at Lowe's.
