Title: Home made Hen sheds.
Post by: growmore on March 22, 2010, 22:31:41
Here's a couple of pictures of 2 hen sheds we built over last few weeks.
We used recycled 3x2 for framework.
Recycled 8ft x4ft  nine ply sheets which had been used on a building site as a temporary compound to keep stuff in .This we had to denail.(these were gonna be skipped or burned)
We had the stable door and the windows given by someone near lotty that had new patio doors fitted.
Had some fencing panels given where the frames around them were rotting .We stripped these down and used the boards to clad the ply on  the outside of the shed with.
We bought breeze blocks,guttering,down pipe and roofing felt.
We finshed up with 2 10x8 sheds with outside covered runs ..For well under £100.
