DIY Chicken Coop from a Resin Shed Kit

Are you looking to create a fabulous DIY chicken coop on a budget?! So were we! We needed something big enough to house our 22 hens without breaking the bank. We also wanted to to be attractive and long lasting. We researched and researched until determining our course of action.

Our solution was to transform a resin shed kit we purchased from Lowe’s into the chicken coop of our dreams. We used a Craftsman 7x7' Resin Storage Shed on a pressure treated wood base. We completed this project start to finish over one weekend- it really wasn’t hard! The chickens have been in for a few weeks now and they are loving it. We plan to add an outdoor enclosure soon as well as a sliding door. We also want to add a few more vents for more ventilation (there are already several vents in the coop).

Update Fall 2021: we have since added a door for them to get outside during the day as well as an outdoor enclosure. The coop has held up GREAT. We have had zero issues with it, the hens love it and it has been a fantastic investment.
