Best wood for building chicken coop?

Question

What's the best type of wood to use when building a chicken coop?

Ian · Answer

Sawn fence posts come in many sizes depending what you need. Please note " Do NOT " put bark chips in the enclosure. They are treated with toxins which will kill chickens.

Ben · Answer

Use a naturally rot-resistant wood (like cedar, redwood, or tropical hardwoods) Choose a softwood (like Douglas fir, hemlock, spruce, or pine) and apply a nontoxic sealer or treatment. Choose a plywood designed for exterior use and stain or paint it.

50mm x 50mm treated exterior grade timber fix the frame with exterior graee screws or nails

Best to use cedar/larch but any treated wood is good & if not treated do it yourself especially the  outside to protect against weather conditions..
