Chicken Coop w/ Sliding Shelves

Instructions on how to build a 4x6x5 chicken coop, box shape, with ramp to reach second level.  The back wall opens like a doorway to enter the back, slide out the nesting areas in order to clean or pluck eggs.

These instructions are a guide to build a 4x6 chicken coop that is roughly five feet tall.  The housing area is 6” from the ground and the roof is five feet from the deck.

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 $400, that would include hardware.

There were a couple of places where the directions weren’t just exact but nothing that kept it from turning out great. Here’s a photo of it under construction and one as a finished project. Just over $300 in materials, not bad at all and plenty of room to expand, add a deck, store toys underneath or put in a sandbox, etc. Plus its portable if you want it to be and can be moved if you think the grass needs a rest in a certain area. It is not in the pictures but we did put poles in the ground and secured the fort to them, the wind gets pretty ridiculous sometimes. Later we are thinking about attaching it to a tree with environmentally friendly bolts so that when the kids a re a little older they can go up in to a tree house from the fort. Lots of possibilities.

L-Shaped Doghouse

Nice big and unique house for your dog our dogs.  Carpentry instructions to build an L-shaped doghouse with two doorways entering from ninety degrees.  Its dimensions are 6x6x5, sitting on a deck that is six inches off the ground.  The doorways are 1’6” x 2’0”.  It is built with siding and trim along the corners.

This doghouse is estimated to cost around $400 dollars depending on the lumber purchased.

Simple Playhouse

Build a 8x8 playhouse with an optional porch area and flower boxes.  The deck is 6” off the ground and the roof is roughly 10 feet tall.  This is a guidebook to construct this fort with diagrams and instructions.

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 created with standard pine so the general cost would be around $600, which would include hardware.

Time:  I am not going to waste your time to estimate how long it will take you to assemble this fort.  Every person has a different speed and it depends on your tools and expertise, obviously.  As well as how much free time that is available to you.
Theoretically, it could be completed in one day.  Also theoretically, it could take you a week.  If you hire some of the contractors that I’ve heard complained about, it could take them a whole year.
