Chicken Coop Planning

Don’t Sit on the Fence When it Comes to Protecting Your Chickens.

If you’re looking to put in a new chicken coop or repair your current one, we can help you every step of the way. Our Experts can help you design it, plan the construction and provide you with advice and building materials list to see it through.


Design

The amount of chickens you plan on having will determine the size of the coop but no matter the number, there’s almost an endless amount of ways you can style your chicken coop.

From shed-like structures to mini barns a few feet off of the ground, with windows or without, ramps or no ramps, chicken coops can be modeled after an array of building styles. It would be a wise idea to search images online to get a sense of what kind of look you will want to go with. Once you know the style, we can help you put it all together.


The Pecking Order

Creating Your Materials List

When putting your building materials list together, we’ll go over your options for everything. We’ll discuss the pros and cons between different types of wood and composite wood for the structure, as well as flooring, roofing, siding, electrical outlet needs, lighting, security, and fencing.

It greatly depends on what your needs are and your long-term plans for the chicken coop. You may not need all of the items listed above but you will need most of them. Then we’ll break it down from there.

Our Experts will help you determine the most important, and most needed materials, so you can install the best chicken coop that fits your needs and fits your budget. Not to mention, one that will compliment your property and most importantly, keep predators at bay (from both the ground and air). Your chickens are an investment and we’re here to help you protect that investment.

With our incredible inventory of building supplies, you should be able to find everything you need right here. We can start by taking a look at the different size rolls of wire mesh we have on hand to see which one suits your chickens. Then we’ll move on to creating the rest of that custom chicken coop you’ve been imagining.
