@raynechantel2738 3 жыл бұрын

I commented on this but since you said dog kennel - I am needing a cat-pen as some of my cats need to be cooler in the summer and outside and they can't mix with the other cats outside so thought about hard ware (hardwire) cloth with the panels and then some on the outside ground to keep predators from digging in....Please tell me what you think? I need an affordable, easy build for my cats. Thanks

Cattle panels, if memory serves me right, are 16' by 4 ft, 4 in tall, so the wooden frame could be made an extra foot long if wanted. A few yrs ago, I used 7 panels to make a 30+ foot frame for a quick "greenhouse." (And it's still strong, by the way.)

@AnneGoggansQHHT 3 жыл бұрын

For those who have predators like raccoons, never use chicken wire. We’ve had predators it holes in chicken wire, pull the chicken heads out, and bite the heads off as a snack. Hardware cloth is the way to go.

The first hoops we made, we did 10 feet wide. The next set, we made 8 feet wide. Here in upstate NY, we learned that the taller, narrower hoops will readily shed snow. The older one does not, and I have to go out with a snow shovel or garden rake (I hold the rake tines up!) and pull the snow off the tarp. Another thing we learned - my husband didn't pay attention to which way the ribs ran, on the cattle panels. You want the ribs that run the long way facing out! At only 8' the panel that runs across the short way will still shed snow, but sometimes it takes longer than the other one.

@blueheronfarm3818 4 жыл бұрын

I built my coop nearly identical to this one. One thing I did differently is to add two support boards, front to back, on the top of the door frame on the inside. It gave a little more front to back stability on the top in the wind and gave me a place to run a light and hang a hook for when I need to feed inside on really rainy, stormy days.

Nice job. We used cattle panels on some chicken hoop houses. We used 4X4’s along the bottom and put folding wheel/axles so they can be towed around. For covering material, we used corrugated galvanized steel sheets.

We have had chickens for several years until a fox and others got them all seven in a close time proximity. We have seen several coops I have even considered turning our greenhouse into a chicken coop. We saw a hoop coop but expensive it was. I can make it so will do so. I then will need to build the chicken house with nesting boxes for them. Just another word. We enjoy the fact that you folk are Bible people who trust God and check with Him and are not afraid on your youtube sessions to speak of Him and honor Him. We watch often. Keep at it. I am a 74+ year old retired pastor/teacher who continues to teach as a adjunct in our local Bible college. We served in missions in Brazil, Portugal, Guyana and Saipan so had no retirement. God blessed us with a house (livable but needing repairs) on a little over an acre on which we almost immediately planted fruit trees, grapes, then raspberries, gooseberries, kiwi, strawberries and various cultivated plots as well as boxes I have made. We even bought a Formal cub almost as old as I am which we recently sold. We have seen our Lord provide in various ways for our needs. We enjoy watching your youtube because you too are not afraid to seek HIS face for wisdom.
