Part 1 of my 'Building a DIY Chicken Coop' series. In this video I will be framing the chicken coop walls, roof trusses and egg box. I'll go over the dimensions of the framing pieces, angles of the roof trusses and other details in case you might want to use this as inspiration for your own build. The following parts of this build will cover the sheathing, trim, doors/windows, roofing as well as the watering system, security features, rainwater harvesting and lots of other cool features... stay tuned!
Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions - Joe
And I also want to give a big thank you to the Home Depot Prospective and Ryobi Tools for sponsoring this build!
