That structure can be used for a lot of things: chicken coop; greenhouse; crop protection; dog kennel; etc. Heck, it can also be used as a child's playhouse. 😁. Thanks for sharing!

Using this for a dog kennel 😅

[@raynechantel2738]

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

[@randygrider]

No need to cut panels, just overlap, will make whole structure stronger.

[@lucykickasola1137]

That’s what I do!

[@nicoleb9117]

Oh yeah, you can overlap in the middle

[@btshoup]

How long are the cow panels

[@fortbenningmom]

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.)

[@williewonka6694]

Built a greenhouse using these methods on a 2"×10" base. Works great and the first year had 18" of snow on top with no issues at all. Cattle panels are a fantastic material.

[@mbarr1029]

Thank You for the snow load information

[@AnneGoggansQHHT]

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.

[@yavuzkaradag172]

After reading your comment, I realized that you were absolutely right.

[@TakeTheRide]

Oh my God. That's not good.

[@dreamthemusicnow]

I think they answered your concern in the next video.

[@Xassaw]

I had the same issue although the chicken wire wasn't damaged. I think it was probably a raccoon because they have the most manual dexterity with their hands. Whatever it was though tore the chicken out through the chicken wire in pieces.

Same here, only it's my husband 😢

[@karnerbutterfly]

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.

[@mutangpadan5311]

Retiring in 2 mths time. This is a perfect model for a beginner like me to copy. Much easier and cheaper to construct. You’re blessed guys. Thanks a lot.

[@cancelchannel3394]

[@cathy3951]

Any ideas? I love this idea because there's an irrigation pipe that runs underneath my chicken run and this technique is all above ground.@@cancelchannel3394

[@blueheronfarm3818]

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.

[@LiwaTSon]

You guys are great! We did our chicken coup in a day! Hahahha! We didn’t cut the cattle panels, just had it overlapped. Need to support the lumbers with corner bars and the base held on real tight! Thank you so much for this great idea! ♥️

[@tongaimupedzi]

Apart from seeing this wonderful ideas you show, it's so sweet seeing you working hand in hand as couple, it's so amazing I love your team work....May the good Lord bless you

[@herrprepper2070]

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.

[@jamiet9132]

This design would make a good diy greenhouse too!

[@UziBlancoOfficial]

Exactly what I was thinking just make it whatever size you need for your own property..

[@ThesmartestTem]

[@barisax96]

I think my wife and I have decided T-posts and combo panels are like the legos of the adult world. I have used the 50" tall panels for fencing, chicken coops, animal pens, and covered garden areas. T-posts for the fencing, bend rebar to make larger U nails to hold things down and bend the hoops right into the ground, or as extra support with wood frames. and surprisingly affordable

[@garyb4929]

That's real close to how I built mine 6 yrs ago. Main change, I found ,needed diagonal braces on inside corners, on 2x, there was little too much flex when moving coop. I did put solid plywood back wall for mounting lay boxes. thanks for sharing

[@koabd4351]

yes ,if moving it you need those , my door was perfect fit until I moved it once lol ,added braces now and it moves much better( stiffer)

Kevin, reference the fencing staples, Big Box stores usually carry smooth fence staples, you may want to check for barbed fence staples. The barbs help keep them from pulling out. Small thing but a game changer.

Only thing I’d worry about is a Fox or coyote digging underneath. I’d dig down and drop railroad ties and mount that frame to the top of it. Very cool cheap chicken coup.

[@floridagirl386]

I would just like to know how they attach the chicken wire to the metal

[@Wakeywhodat]

Also, I am using hardware cloth instead of chicken wire to keep predators out. It’s pricey but in one bad day you can lose your entire flock. Amazon is cheaper for hardware cloth.

[@floridagirl386]

@Wakeywhodat I get a roll of 25ft & 3ft high for like 60 bucks @ lowes. Is it cheaper than that?

And a strong way for your connecting your squares is you interlock it you shave it out though with your dermal tool if you're going to use a power tool. And then you lock them in with the two and three teeth section on the sides.

[@twistingpenguin3211]

Thank you for sharing

[@johnahern770]

Kevin. Why cut that last pane.? It could have been used in the middle to give you a stronger joint at the overlap ( and when/if you get rid of the chickens at a later date the panels are still whole for reuse. Just a thought.

[@countrystyle5076]

Excellent idea... I was just thinking I couldn't do it cause I couldn't cut it myself... well John, with your idea I can do this.

You can cut the panels with an angle grinder. Wear safety glasses or face shield and a work coat.

We bought ten acres. Back in 2015, God gave me a ‘knowing’. I don’t know how else to explain it. In 2015- I suddenly KNEW we were going to have LAND, grow FOOD, have chickens, provide food for our local church? God was telling me that TROUBLES were coming and he said “you will be a safe haven for the church”. I saw folks sitting on bales of hay, praising God in bible studies. I kept thinking “God, why will we need to hide”? I just knew that God was saying “prepare”. Then he said “Oh, and by the way- I will be your realtor, I will bring the property to you”. I was flabbergasted and my hubby thought I was crazy. Fast forward to 2020- My hubby was standing in a grocery store with his father and started complaining about my “knowing” of 2015- he said “Dad, Sara thinks God told her we are going to own land someday and I’ve been looking (remember, God said he’d be the realtor) and there’s NOTHING out there”- In perfect God FASHION, right at that moment, He and his father heard the cashier talking to her friend (4 people ahead in line)- and she said “Rose, is your property for sale, aren’t you moving to Ohio”? When my hubby got up to the cashier, he inquired and the next day we gave her an offer on the property!! We have been here since 2020- growing food, raising chickens, and an extension of the church!!! Get ready folks!! Something BIG BIG BIG is coming to America!!!!

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.

Oh my gosh I love this! We always have cattle panels here with our farm and lumber laying around. I think I may see about making two. One for a new chicken pen (always need another one of those) and one for a greenhouse. I've never had a greenhouse before and really want one and have wanted one for years. This looks inexpensive enough to do. Thank you! ~ Ashley

[@donaldmiller8629]

@ Ashley Capps , For a greenhouse or a coop , I use 2" X 12" as a base and attach the cattle panel to the top of the base. Using the same kind of attachment that Kevin does. That way I can have much more width and still have enough height for head room. I use 2" X 3" for the other lumber framework. I also have some very strong raccoons so I use 1 /2 " hardware cloth instead of chicken wire. For weather protection of a coop , I only cover one half. I know which way my prevailing wind blows so the open end is facing away from the wind. It does take some figuring but you can collect rainwater from the roof covering to automatically provide water for the chickens. I collect the rain water into a five gallon bucket with water nipples. I hate to carry water at my age. It works very well. Once or twice a week I add a cup of apple cider vinegar. I have enough rain so that I never have to fill the bucket.

The top of the door could rest on the two studs for longer term durability. A pole in the back will never deteriorate, but wood might be stronger initially. I wonder if you could use the cattle panel temporarily to bolt panels together every 3" with big washers. Then the thick roof holds the shape. Might require more posts, but you get to use the panels again!

[@angelmeade1669]

[@courtneykachur9487]

We all have “rules” we live by and yours are different than mine, BUT...... I never cut anything I can leave whole. That way, if time goes on and something needs to be redone I have everything still in whole pieces. I only say this in relation to cutting off 6 inches instead of overlapping. Love the videos.

Great philosophy!👏👏🤷‍♀️💞 we just *never* know what's coming down the road...😘

[@highstandards6226]

[@jp-hh9xq]

I thought that too. I would just overlap them for extra (probably unneeded) stability, and by not cutting them they have flexibility later to reconfigure and those panels are seriously are a B to cut anyway! My thoughts exactly.

[@TammieYoMammie]

@@jp-hh9xq Slightly overlapping the cattle panels definitely gives it more strength, which does come in handy if you get any kind of snow load on it in the wintertime.
