It is therefore vital that you have a total understanding of the different types of materials so as to make informed decisions.

Here are some of the basics you can get started.

It is not necessarily true that you need a lot of costly materials as many people think to build a chicken coop that looks good and professional.  There are several variety of materials you can use and some of them surprisingly could already lying around your house. Example: PVC Pipes, scrp lumber, 50gallon barrels,  old shed and other recycled materials. Wood is usually the most common material used for building chicken coops yet it is the most expensive, so you will have to consider the pros and cons. It is a good idea to invest in a wooden coop if you want the coop to last for years and to make sure that it does endure various climate changes.


As you look at the various types of wood bear in mind that prices will vary due to the different types and this can influence your decisions. You could get by using recycled materials if you're just building a small chicken coop. Bear in mind that asking around for scrap pieces of wood can be a way to lay your hands on some materials, however, it may bring along some extra work of pulling old nails. And there is the high chance that not all the wood will match in colour and texture. But it is definately worth looking into as a cost effective method.


Carefully look around and find the materials that will meet your building needs and this can in many cases save you over half the price of the coop. We've already mentioned how important it is that you have a good understanding of the materials for building your chicken house before you get going. Figuring it all out before starting is your best option and this because it can be quite difficult with certain types of material to switch when you're halfway through, even between the different wood types.
