New to your channel and just subscribed. I'm getting my girls in two months and want a sturdy coop and large run for them. Your hoop coop and chicken tractor designs are what I'm looking for. Living Tradition Homestead has a similar set up. You YT folks are rock stars!

very nice build. I appreciate the details you shared on structural support and framing. I'll be building one that is taller, using the full 16', but the principles on the build will be very helpful. I like the ridge beam design and the way you wrapped the hardware cloth. Thx for sharing!

Nice! why didn't you show us the assembly of the wheels? It would have been useful.
@GritandGrace3 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately the video file was corrupted. Long/short, i used a 1/2” by 4-6” carriage bolt, drilled through each side of the framing with a 1/2 drill bit after evenly marking both sides. Then drive the carriage bolt from the inside to the outside, thread a washer and nut to snug the bolt down, and slip your wheels on before moving. Tip: If the hoop house is open on one end only, place the axles at the end that is closed so when you move the house you can visually track the birds through the open mesh end so as not to crush any birds

Very nice.....but why didn’t you build it tall enough so you don’t have to bend over to go into .....
@GritandGrace3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the encouragement. It came down to cost of materials mostly. I was able to exclude a third sheet of cattle panel by going this route. Also since we use these as mobile coupes i tried to keep things light. In addition, since my children bring in the feed and water, height is sufficient for them. I only occasionally go in and I’m still young so bending isn’t an obstacle, yet...

In my week 5 and 6 raising poultry video, I ended up building a sliding hatch door on the backside of this hoop house. Doing something similar could help you with this problem

Why are the wheels in front
@GritandGrace2 жыл бұрын
Because i didn’t think it through enough. I did later switch the axles to the other side so that I can let the kids are the two wheeled cart and pier through the open portions and see the birds, that’s ensuring that I didn’t crash any of them

Those cattle panels are really expensive. I've been watching videos like this and nobody mentioned the cost, I was very disappointed when I went to buy some panels and realized how pricey they were. So I went a different route.

Really what were they charging you? I paid 20.00 usd a piece at either tractor supply or another local farm store.

@@GritandGrace 70 something dollars for one panel. And they're too long to fit in the bed of a truck, and I don't have a trailer, so I wouldn't be able to get them home. That was at tractor supply

Whoa! I don’t know if this is a result of COVID caused inflations like in dimensional lumber, but a 50” by 16 foot panel never cost that before. Where are you located in the world?

Wow, well you may have to build a different wood version, but 2x4s are double what they used to be. If you decide to pay up for the panels, you can ask them to cut them down to 12’. That’s what I did. And you can always pay the 25.00 to rent a u haul utility trailer for 4 hours. Get your panels, spring mulch or whatever else you might need in one shot to maximize efficiency. Good luck on you coop build, whichever direction you go
