DIY Chicken Coop

Build your own chicken coop:

This chicken coop was specifically built in a certain manner.  The picture on the front cover was the chicken coop built for this plan.

These instructions are a guide to build a 4x6 chicken coop that is roughly three and a half feet tall.  The housing area is two feet from the ground.

I would like to point out that the instructional drawings are not to scale.  They are renditions to help visually explain certain details, not to be taken as scale models.  They are approximate shapes and patterns but very easy to follow.

I would recommend that you thoroughly read the entire instructions before proceeding with construction.  There are options, choices and special notes that may be of interest to you.

Cost:  The price for the materials to build this project would be dependent upon what material that you purchase.  Some lumber is more expensive than others.  However, the original structure was built with standard pine so the general cost would be around $200, that would include hardware.

Aargh! DIY carpentry instructions for a Pirate Ship Fort

It is called a Pirate Ship because it resembles a ship.  It is not intended to function as an actual ship at sea or lake.  The picture on the front cover is the fort that was designed for this plan.

Some modifications were made to simplify this plan for the novice.  The original was designed to be a solitary 3x20x7 fort.  Other parts were added, such as an optional mast that could reach eight feet or higher.  This is obviously optional.  It will be easy to add these portions later if you want, rather than build the entire thing at once.

These instructions are a guide to build a three foot wide and 17 feet plus long fort that is roughly seven feet tall to the top of the railings.  It has a step unit leading onto the port side.  The deck is four feet from the ground and the Aft deck is five feet from the ground.  The underground area is four feet from ground.

Cost:  The price for the materials to build this project would be dependent upon what material that you purchase.  Some lumber is more expensive than others.  However, the original structure was designed with standard pine so the general cost would be around $1500, that would include hardware.
