Thank you for taking the time to post this, it is very helpful we have a
similar yard and an acre and 1/2 we need the same type wheels!
Hey Ron, Yes, it’s made from 1 1/4″ PVC and I attached the hardware cloth
and plywood to it using #10 self-tapping screws and fender washers. You can
see more of the construction details at the hen hideout link above.
Would you email the plans to me, too? Thanks! sjmuncy7@gmail.com
I now have drawn up a set of plans. If you are still interested let me know
and I can email them to you.
Almost forgot….aje127@gmal.com
Great design – would like to have your plans. Please email to
madhadder@hughes.net. Thank you.
Hi, The link to the plans are in the summary section under the video.
YouTube will not let me post a link in the comments section.
Oh can I have a copy of the plans too? I just built a cow panel greenhouse
that I was going to use as a temporary chicken coop til I got the main one
built but I think I like yours way better.
I’ve been trying to convince my wife of that for years. If you want the
plans – check out Google Docs link in the description.

Is that chicken coop made from PVC pipe? If so how did you attach the
screen to pvc pipe and also their cages at the end?
Hi, sorry my drawings look like the chickens did them. My post is located
in the chicken tractor section of the coops page on backyardchickens –
listed as the Hen Hideout. It gives you the rough dimensions, but the
biggest thing to work out is the assembly steps. I will try to add more
info to this post in the future.
I let the chickens out when I move the coop, although last time I had a hen
in the nest box and just shut the door to the hen house. I think you may be
able to move it with the chickens inside, but I haven’t tried it to see if
they will try to squeeze underneath while it is in motion.

Would you have to take the chickens out of the coop before putting
on/taking off wheels?
I would love to get your plans. Could you please email me?

Rick please e-mail me your plans and wheel atachment for your pvc coop.
thank you very much. Ed prather Prat1923@hotmail.com
Great work, Rick!
Once again for everybody – I have a link to the plans in the summary
section, click on ‘show more’ to see it. Also go BackYardChickens (dot com)
and find my Hen Hideout page for lots more info. It is under the Coops tab
in the chicken tractor section. Please PM me though there if you have any
questions! Good Cluck!
I was trying to join website, but having difficulties. Anyway, do you have
written plans/measurements? Would you take a paypal donation if you do? I
really want to build one, but have physical issues, and this looks perfect!
Good job, Rick!
You my friend are a frickin genius. Thanks for this vid. I plan on using
your idea.
