Working out dimensions, materials, insulation, ventilation, lighting, positioning, nesting, perches, waste collection and protection from the elements and other predators can seem complicated. But when I see this <a href="http://www.86af.com/category/chicken-coop/" rel="nofollow">how to build Chicken Coop</a> , it very easy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-83750656411159362542012-11-20T12:18:38.620-06:002012-11-20T12:18:38.620-06:00That is a very cool project.

The PVC frame has 1x4s bolted to them at 16" o.c. so that the corrigated metal (lamina in Spanish) is attached to them. The roof is made of same materials, with a green transluscent panel in center for lighting.<br /><br />We weren't sure how long we were going to need it, so that is why I built using these materials. But the structure is 15 years old and has even lived through a Cat 1 hurricane (Dolly) with little damage.<br /><br />The only needed replacement was galvanized metal gate post, which became rotted at grade top. PVC - still going strong. I thought I was going to need grout fill for strength, but it hasn't been the case. I wouldn't want to climb on top of it - thats a YouTube 'Here, hold mah beer . . .' moment, lol.<br /><br />Thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-84791799624118962652012-11-20T11:14:02.698-06:002012-11-20T11:14:02.698-06:00There is a great example of a PVC chicken tractor ...There is a great example of a PVC chicken tractor on backyardchickens.comKellinoreply@blogger.com
