Thank you Sam for helping Doug build their greenhouse

[@TealHouseFarm]

It was a lot of fun meeting Doug and Stacy and I always enjoy helping folks out...thanks for commenting!

[@ronmack1767]

Enjoyed the video Sam. That a nice inexpensive shed that could be used for many things. Y'all take care and God bless.

[@TealHouseFarm]

It works in a pinch for all sorts of things! Thanks for dropping by Ron!!

[@jeffreyadams8435]

Cool, low budget, minimal time works for me,THANKS SAM

[@TealHouseFarm]

The fact that you can build one by yourself in just a few hours is awesome. Some builds can be frustrating...not this one!!

[@ASimpleLifewithChrisTara]

Looks good. ...thanks for sharing

[@TealHouseFarm]

Thanks for dropping in!!

[@John-mh6mi]

Thank you very helpful...

[@TealHouseFarm]

You are welcome!

I've been agonizing over an inexpensive, quick, easy structure for goat shelter and hay storage. This is intriguing. How does the hay at the front and back hold up as it's exposed to moisture? I enjoyed the video!

[@TealHouseFarm]

The hay at the front can get a bit wet if the wind is blowing while it’s raining. If the shelters back is to the wind it will help a lot. We’ve now turned this shelter into a greenhouse...they’re multipurpose for sure!

[@SarahPerine]

Have you made a Suskovich tractor? I’m curious how you would compare the two! As a co-op, I wonder how predator-proof this is? Thanks so much! I love its multiuse capabilities!! I might just make one for temporary hay storage.

[@TealHouseFarm]

ThenSuskovich is worth the investment. It’s held together the best of all the coops we’ve had. It’s not as cheap as this one, but it’s by far the sturdiest. Highly recommend. We also use this non-suskovich design for a green house and it works really well. As a coop I think it would work well, just make sure the chicken wire goes all the way down and is nice and tight!

[@ericb9345]

That’s a good amount of storage for such a small footprint!

[@TealHouseFarm]

Yes, I was surprised it all fit! Just enough hay for a small homestead!

[@shelleypilcher3812]

Are you in a wet winter climate? So where does the condensation go? Usually it will drop off Tarps and onto hay. How was this not happening?

[@TealHouseFarm]

This is a great question! We live in a somewhat dry winter climate (it snows…but it’s not very rainy or wet). Never had condensation issues. We kept the structure as you see it here for about 1.5 years before converting it into a greenhouse because we had better more permanent hay storage available. But for being in a pinch in time and finances this did great for us!

[@karencatalano4349]

It does look like it could be able to make. But if it’s used as a chicken coop don’t you need to put chicken wire over the top,I would think some animals could climb and get under the tarp and get the chickens?

[@TealHouseFarm]

Yes, chicken wire the whole thing would be better. I had premier one electric fence around my coops so nothing could get to them. But the chickens ended up figuring it out and I had a couple escape. So wire the whole thing!!

[@GraceFilled]

Hey friend....I'm getting goats 🐐 so I'm here watching...we have to catch up Soon

[@TealHouseFarm]

Yay! You’ll love goats! If you have any questions feel free to ask. Our goats definitely taught us a lot the last 5 years 😂😂🫣

[@GraceFilled]

@@TealHouseFarmOh perfect....I'm getting 2 Nigerian girls ❤

[@JosephWarner]

Great video me monopoly man! Jk, building this today 😄👍🇺🇸

[@TealHouseFarm]

Good luck! Happy building :)

[@cathysteenson9591]

And... you don't have to paint it!!! and if it gets hailed on, you just replace the tarp. I love our wooden coop, but I kind of wish we'd have gone this route, especially since it can easily be portable besides!

[@TealHouseFarm]

It works very well and I've been very happy with these coops/sheds. They're not for everyone, but they really do have many uses and the mobility is such a huge plus. Thanks for stopping by!!

[@cathysteenson9591]

@@TealHouseFarm I actually might build one but put greenhouse film on it.

[@topboss1719]

How wide and long is it?

[@TealHouseFarm]

It's about 6 feet wide and is 8 feet long

[@ammymorales1501]

How many pallets? Also the link for the PDF is not working

[@TealHouseFarm]

Sam says he thinks it’s 6 (can’t remember from back then and it’s all under hay now!). I just checked the link and it worked fine so give it another try, maybe they were updating the site 😀. www2.ca.uky.edu/agcomm/pubs/ASC/ASC189/ASC189.pdf

[@ammymorales1501]

@@TealHouseFarm Thank you!!😉

[@michealdraconis6179]

Use bigger wheels

[@TealHouseFarm]

Michael, I think you're right. Bigger wheels will work well with goats and full grown chickens.I would be concerned with larger wheels making too much space for chicks to get out. Thanks for stopping by!!

[@michealdraconis6179]

Don’t you have hardware cloth on the bottom of the coup I have seen some that have fencing or wood runners that let the birds access the grass and bugs but stops them from getting out of the tractor
