Hardware Cloth Hot-Dip Galvanized Wire Mesh, Welded Cage Wire Rolls Great for Animal Enclosure Chicken Coop Flower Beds How Do We Make Chicken Coops by Using Hardware Cloth? To make a chicken coop using hardware cloth, you will need the following materials: 1. Hardware cloth (also called wire mesh or poultry netting) in the appropriate size for your coop. 2. Wooden posts or stakes to create the frame of the coop. 3. Wooden boards for the walls and roof of the coop. 4. Screws or nails to attach the hardware cloth and wooden boards. 5. Hinges and a latch for the coop door. 6. Tools such as a saw, drill, pliers or tin scissors. Here are the steps to make a chicken coop using hardware cloth: 1. Plan the size and design of your coop. You'll want to make sure it's large enough to accommodate your chickens comfortably and has proper ventilation. 2. Build the frame of the coop using wooden posts or stakes. You can create a simple rectangle shape for the coop. 3. Attach wooden boards to the frame to create the walls and roof of the coop. 4. Measure and cut the hardware cloth to fit the openings in the walls and roof of the coop. Use wire cutters to trim the hardware cloth to the appropriate size. 5. Attach the hardware cloth to the wooden frame using tacks, screws or nails. For instance, hold the hardware cloth in the installation location and place a U-shaped hardware tack at the top edge so that it straddles one of the vertical wires. Tap the tack with a hammer until it is flush with the installation surface. Repeat the process to insert tacks every 4 to 5 inches along the top of the hardware cloth. 6. Install a door on the coop using hinges and a latch. Make sure the door is large enough for you to easily access the inside of the coop.
