This build is so easy even someone with zero skills could pull it off =)
we suggest having one on your homestead for a standby

I built this and it worked for about 2 months. The corners in the front pulled apart. I would use some metal corner braces or prebend the cattle panel so there isn't so much outward pressure. It's a good, cheap design otherwise.

You'll never need to worry about cutting the wrong size, spin in circles or waste time trying to figure out what goes where... With ryan's detailed shed plans ru-vid.comUgkxT9ExVpR-3A-9rpRqx8vzXKZ3BMMTg_KH , it makes building sheds a breeze - just like putting lego bricks together! You'll be able to create the kind of shed, your neighbors and other woodworkers will secretly envy (while mumbling nice job under their breath).

@lfrech4 Год назад

You do make it look easy peasy. Not sure how you secured the initial hoop panels so I’ll just watch again. It’s jawdropping how much time you put into recording videos just to help humanity. God bless you and Stacy and Grant and all your family, animals and friends

@vinlago Год назад

They look like cattle panels. I've seen them used as a high tunnel frame and we use them as a trellis for tomatoes & cucumbers. Try rural king, tractor supply & any farm supply store.

Doug, you had mentioned in one of your videos about building a $50.00 chicken coop. I found it!!! This would make a great second coop for many reasons! First, I need to build a permanent coop for the chickens I am going to get this year. I can't wait! I have never had chickens before, or a homestead before. What an incredible blessing, and I am doubly blessed to have found you and Stacy to guide me through the thousands of things that make up a homestead. Thank you both so much! God Bless!

@valtonburns8556 Год назад

I built this and put plywood in the front corners on each side, one for the water, one for the food. Put a rack in the back for them to sleep on and put three milk crates in the back with small holes in the chicken wire for my wife to get the eggs. Put some old lawn mower wheels that are adjustable in each corner. And we roll it around the chickens love it and actually eat a lot of grass and bugs and very little feed.

@viscache1 2 года назад

Great idea! Over many years several farm buildings have fallen (before we bought the farm) and we have parted up the old ruins and reused the lumber for several animal shelters. I think the best ideas come from what is on hand! This is a great example.

@tanyaratti Год назад

Best one I’ve seen. Suggestion to prevent tarp ripping. When attaching it, instead of screwing it down, place a baton strip along the whole side edge and nail the baton in place.

Great job on the mini coop! It got me thinking of how we need one as an extra. So many uses... Isolation of sick bird, introduction of off the farm additions to the group, mama hen/baby chick safe space, and on, and on. Small investment of time and dollars produces a big return on multi use item. I like it!

@farmwife7944 5 лет назад

Handy set up. We would have to use hardware cloth for the fencing though. It's the only stuff small enough to keep weasels from getting the chicks. They get through the smaller size chicken wire. I assume wiry little weasels with an appetite for noisy chicks aren't a problem in your area, unlike here in upstate NY. Of course they can't get the bodies out, so they kill, drag the bodies to one pile and leave them. That's their modus operandi.

@chevyblueangel 10 месяцев назад

This was one of my first D&S videos I watched a couple of years or so ago. Was very nice seeing it and the other first few videos again! I hope by now the coop door is easier to get into though. Twisting 3 wires just to open or lock the door would be very tedious and frustrating. Besides that, I love the portable coop idea and would definitely want to own one or two myself if I ever buy enough land where I could raise chickens. Thanks Doug and Stacey!!

@pollyjetix2027 7 лет назад

I like it! One thing I would do differently, is to make it easier to open and close the "door" securely. I have found when using utility fencing this way, that a few large-headed nails placed strategically works to hold the panel edge in place, when you have to pull it hard to stretch it to hook over the heads. So, it's open in an instant, and closes just as quickly.
