What is your floor made of

[MACCanadianCoop]

Hi everyone. I'm starting my coop build. Pallets covered with plywood for the flooring. I want to put something water proof as the final layer. Looking for ideas of what others have used.
*dirt floor isn't an option - too much ground water
*I will be using bedding as well but looking for something to protect the wood

For my raised coop, plywood. And yea, stacking up some bedding keeps the floor from too much moisture.

For my new coop, dirt floor. Was concerned about groundwater as well, but I ended up moving a bunch of dirt to raise the ground in and around the coop to mitigate water. Had some pretty hard rains and it still stays dry in there.

Good exterior paint

Some people have recommended getting linoleum or vinyl to protect the floor and be easily cleanable.

Coop 1 is raised with plywood floor and deep bedding; Coop 2 is on ground with mulch and flakes-- Even with high water table in FLA, I fear it is too dry to be deep litter.

I used barn paint on my plywood floor

Linoleum with construction sand on top!

Single sheet of heavy duty foam backed vinyl has worked here for 9 year now.
0.085" thick....

I used Black Jack 57 on the plywood floor. If I had it to do again, I would use barn paint.

Black Jack 57 here as well, it's waterproof and pretty scrape resilient.
