Got Free Truckload Of OSB & Putting Sheathing On Chicken Coop

I got a full truck load of free OSB sheathing and immediately got to work on my new chicken coop.

I removed the siding I was putting on and decided to put on the sheathing first. Then I will use tar paper next, followed by the pine wood siding.

I worked right off the bed of the truck, measuring and cutting the sheathing as I worked rather than moving the wood twice.

In the end I used all but one of the 7 full sheets and I used two of the halves. I still have a full sheet left over plus a bunch of half sheets.

I will put nesting boxes for the hens plus two loft areas. One for storage and one for a chicken brooder. This will be an insulated chicken brooder up near the ceiling on one end. This way I can keep the chicks in their pen from the start.

I am feeling very good about the new chicken coop. I think this is the best construction I ever did.

It is all nice and square too. This was easy to since the chicken coop is just as long as a sheet of OSB.

Inside I will use some of the OSB for storage areas and the lofts. I will have a lift up cover for the trash cans which hold the chicken feed. This will keep the chickens from nesting on top of my cans and making a mess of them.

I ripped off the long boards from the roof too and replaced them with OSB. Then I put tar paper on the roof to water proof it until I get the roofing in place.
