They are certainly strong enough. We sometimes fill them with sand or rocks and stack the bags for errosion control. Without any first-hand experience, I'm a little bit skeptical of using feed bags for protecting wood. You can not easily make the overlap between two bags waterproof so...

In the old days we used copper sulfate. It stunk to high heaven but is not a carcinogen. The only toxicity concerns are associated with the application process. Thompson's water seal is completely non-toxic and works surprisingly well. It is the easiest thing in the world to apply and the...

Chicken coops come with some tradition that should not be trampled on with glitz. Take rustic to the extreme.

If a chicken wants to get up on something and chill out for a while, why would they want it to swing? It's not conducive to quasi-napping and would make it more difficult to keep a keen watch over things. How many square feet per big dog?

I use the countersink bits and had never seen the trick with cutting of the tip of the nail/screw. I wouldn't have guessed that could work but I guess is makes sense.

That's great! Built in the true spirit of a chicken coop.

We've used a product called Quikrete for that on our silty soil. It has pebbels, sand and cement mixed tgether. It comes in a 60 lb bag that is somewhat managable. Just sprinkle it on the ground and scratch it in with a hoe. You can wet it with a hose or just wait until it rains or wicks...

I ordered one when you first mentioned it. Thank you again. Yeah, plastic, but who cares if it works. It seems to have two sensors; one near the tip and one near the base.

You need a planer to smooth out the planks and get them uniform. A planer, some polyurethane and some elbow grease can get you a glass finish.

Thank you for that one. It could save the price of a new blade and pay for itself quickly.

You poor unfortunate soul. You don't have one single chipping hammer.

I never read reviews and just read the descriptions. We usually get what we pay for. The decision is whether it is going to be a long term investment or just another piece of junk to use for a while until it wears out.

Clap, clap, clap. But, you used up a lot of your stockpile building the rack so now you'll have to restock.... or something like that :)

Very clever. I'll remember that one.

Thats' spectacular! The best chickens coops have that certain something and live up to their stereotype..
