How To Build A Chicken Coop Using Chicken Wire Mesh

Ideally, you should provide both a chicken coop and a chicken run to ensure your chickens have a place to sleep and lay eggs comfortably whilst being able to run around, forage and bathe happily.

This all seems like a daunting project to start from scratch, especially for those who have never built one before, however we are here to make it as easy as possible for you.

To this end we recently published an article outlining exactly how to build a chicken coop using chicken wire. This should answer all questions that you may have.

What Is The Best Mesh For A Chicken Coop?

Typically, a chicken mesh coop is constructed from galvanised steel or PVC-coated chicken wire which has been shaped to have hexagonal holes.

PVC-coated chicken wire is essentially just galvanised steel chicken wire with a coloured plastic coating. This is often beneficial as it blends into your garden environment better and it also is less harmful to chickens as the coating allows protection against sharp wire edges.

These are the best kind of meshes to use as it has a strong structure to keep out predators such as foxes therefore giving them the ultimate protection whilst allowing great ventilation as well as a view over the garden.

The hexagon structure wire netting comes in a few different hole sizes such as 13mm, 25mm, 31mm and 50mm in both galvanised steel and PVC-coated chicken wire.

In addition, you could also use galvanised welded wire mesh. This has a strong linear structure for good protection and electric fencing as a second layer of safety for your chickens. This does not come in a PVC-coated option.

What Other Materials Do You Need To Build A Chicken Coop?

As well as your chosen chicken wire mesh, you will also require:

• Wooden fence panels – for the chicken coop frame
• Screws – for putting the frame together
• Hinges and U-Pins/staples – to make fencing and a doorway for your chicken coop
• Wood chips – to be the floor base for your chickens to run on

What Tools Do You Require For Building A Chicken Coop?

• Spade – for digging area for chicken coop and chicken run to put wood chips in
• Spirit level – for making sure your frame is straight
• Ruler and pen – for marking points to saw the wooden panels
• Drill and/or screwdriver – for screwing the wood panels together
• Hammer – for adding nails into wooden panels
• Pliers – for removing nails
• Staple gun – for attaching the chicken wire to the wooden panels

Not all of these building tools are required depending on what you want to use, this is just a guide on what is suitable for building a chicken coop and chicken run.

How Many Chickens Will Fit Inside A Chicken Coop?

Based on the size of your chicken coop determines how many chickens you could keep inside, it is recommended to have 4 sq feet for each chicken in the coop and 10 sq feet for each chicken in the run. For example, a 4 x 8ft chicken coop would allow up 10 chickens.

We recently published a detailed guide on fox proof mesh which will tell you even more about this potential use for this wire mesh.  Our goal for our blogs and help guides is to answer as many questions as possible to help to explain the possibilities of mesh to our customers.
