How to Build a Tiny Pole Barn in 5 MINUTES | Chicken House Plans
A few of you asked me to put the chicken coop build series together into one fast build video so I finally got around to it. This pole barn project was a lot of fun to build and has been a rewarding addition to the farm. For anyone who asks, "Can I build my own pole barn?" The answer is yes! Post frame constructions is simple and straight forward. This is a total DIY project and with a little foresight, you can build the pole barn chicken coop of your dreams. My wife loves it and has such an easier time taking care of the chickens and the kids love collecting the eggs now, without going into the coop. Hope you enjoy this small pole barn build video and I hope you can put the chicken house plans to good use on your own property.

@greggmcclelland8430 2 роки тому

If you are adding an automatic door, add a web camera so you can see if the system malfunctions. Sometimes if the weather is overcast, the light sensor causes the door to close before the chickens put themselves to bed. in that case, you will have chickens locked out. The other alternative is use the timer function instead of the light sensor to trigger the door opening and closing.

@MikeKincaid79 2 роки тому

I like the timer idea best for the reason you mentioned.

@WillieStubbs 2 роки тому

@@MikeKincaid79 A'ight have a motion detector on the outside that works for about 15 minutes when the timer is set for bedtime, so the chickens can go in but not out. Have a bell or some other sound go off to let them know it is time to come in. Any that don't make it in within 15 minutes will regret having to sleep outside all night and that'll learn 'em. Then a different bell alerts them and the door opens until bedtime. The door closes and the motion detector lets them come in but only for 15 minutes and then they are locked in for the night. Disclaimer: I'm not a chicken therapist so I'm not sure if my idea will be acceptable to normal chickens. Any chickens outside of normal will probably just get eaten at night which will solve the rebellion problem one chicken at a time. THEY MUST ALL CONFORM OR DIE!!

@MikeKincaid79 2 роки тому

I've done a lot of fencing and building on my place and this is the first job that I didn't put concrete in the bottom of the holes. At the time, I was thinking that it's just a chicken coop and I dug down over 2 feet until it was hard and rocky. I'm convinced that it was and is solid enough for this building but in hindsight I wish I would have done that just because I build most things overkill. As I think back, it's kind of strange to me that I decided not to put concrete in the holes. I guess we do some strange things sometimes, haha.

@kristlhuffman2531 2 роки тому

Beautiful job! I haven't seen updates yet, so take my comment with a grain of salt and grace. 2 updates I'd say your wife would love: skip the latches for the nest box lids go straight to heavy duty magnets. Trust me. Makes life SO much easier. The second, cut a long door (ala nest box door) along the wall adjacent to the roosts. It'll give your wife easier access to clean, have them fold upwards so the hinges don't get fouled, and she can put a wheeler trailer or heavy duty wheelbarrow right underneath and rake all that mess right outside without having to hassle with the roosts and doors. Enjoyed your video tons! Great design there! Love from Alaska!

@MikeKincaid79 2 роки тому

Thanks so much, and glad you enjoyed it! The magnets are a fantastic idea and I really need to complete this thing, lol. I am seriously thinking about the magnets. As far as cleaning, it's essentially set up like you mentioned with the back door. She very easily sweeps it all out the door. I do like your idea though, for not having to deal with the roosts or nest boxes. Something to consider for sure. The linoleum (although a little more costly) is a massive game changer. It's so slick that she's able to just sweep everything away in a couple strokes of the broom. Thanks for the comment and ideas!

@rogerxxxxxxx 2 роки тому

I've already done something like this myself, however, I tend to insulate my pole barn floors with mineral wool (eg. Rockwool, Thermafiber, ...) and adding another lay of pressure treated plywood to the far bottom. Reason for the floor insulation, these pole barns are elevated off-the-ground conducting/insulating zero ground warmth/heat within non-tropical areas, or subjected to winds/climate of the far northern/southern latitudes during Winter. If the pole barn is ever used for something above freezing, such as a water storage tank or other warm/non-freezing area/storage, will be a pain in the butt to ever insulate the floor within the future. Mineral wool, aside from mineral wool's insulation and pest reducing assets, also reduces noise. We all want our clucking chickens to sleep well right? (However, guess one could also lay down some foam board in between another layer of pressure treated plywood.) For the walls, I'd likely partition one room and insulate only those walls using cheaper fiberglass, as walls are extremely easier to maintain versus the flooring.

It's just pure natural sulfur, that's it. You could use it as a drench but you'll want to stir it up just before using cause the sulfur settles after a couple hours.

This is a very good video. Do you have blueprints for this chicken coop that you’d be willing to share? It’s too bad that much wood costs a fortune today compared to just a year ago. But the cost of eggs is also skyrocketed so it’s worth it to build a coop and get some chickens for eggs and garden bug control.

@MikeKincaid79 2 роки тому

It's all relevant. I don't have plans, wish I did. People have been asking for plans since uploading this so maybe I need to draw some up and make available.

@katkinslow 3 місяці тому

Thats a chicken mansion! If You have any cats they would love this! Hey i saw perfectly happy chickens laying eggs in a barrel they shared! I think it was about 5 of them sharing two half barrels laid on their side. But cool good job!

@elmerramos1796 5 місяців тому

Hey Mile good to see you! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Cool video for a moment I thought you are building another chicken coop....lol. It's good to see it all together in one video! You guys take care! Hugs🤗🤗💜

@MikeKincaid79 3 роки тому

Good to see you too and I hope you guys have a nice holiday season. If I build another one, it will be more of a hobby shed for my wife and I up by the house.

@camicri4263 3 роки тому

Thank you Mike, you have a great holiday season too! I am glad the food is gone, even though I didn't make more food than other times it seemed that.... I guess we started to eat less and with sweets and stuff was way to much. Cheesecake pecan pie and pumpkin pecan pie was delicious but it really tipped us over the edge. A hobby shed would be awesome! Shelley would love it. Hugs you you and the girls!

@yamahasuperbike2202 2 роки тому

Anything looks easy when sped up, haha. You can do it, just one step at a time.

@calorus 2 роки тому

So... I'd planned basically exactly this build, having built a few bits and bobs over the years. I've spent the last 3 months listening to people who've either not built much or who've built loads, but only ever as contractors or site managers building to other's plans. Thank you for this; I'm going back to my original plans.

@MikeKincaid79 2 роки тому

You can do it and you don't even need plans. I'm not a builder and have no experience in the building industry. Just grew up building tree forts and other projects. Also, grew up around a Dad that build lots of things as well. All it takes is a some thought and a willingness to carry it out. I wish I had plans for this and have been asked a lot but all I did was copy another shed on my property that is similar. I'd just take a few measurements and go replicate what I saw, then go look at how another part was and build it, and on and on. Good luck with your project and have fun building it. Nothing quite like the satisfaction you get from a job well done.

@jackfrosty4674 2 роки тому

build a miniature test one that is moveable as a test. Can always find a use for it. Too many people wait till they get to that point. Develop skills and plan on small scale so when ready is easy.

@crowgirl1326 3 роки тому

Great compilation video, Mike. Do you plan to capture the water from the gutter system you install? The automatic coop doors are convenient. I think you would like them.

@MikeKincaid79 3 роки тому

We've never had automatic doors but they sure will be nice once we get them installed. I hadn't thought about capturing the rain water but that's a great idea for the orchard.

@1982MCI 3 роки тому

@@MikeKincaid79 I capture the rainwater off my barn for the chickens, ducks, turkeys and rabbits and it’s the best thing I ever did Mike. I also put in a 3600 gallon tank on my front barn and ran the gutter into it for irrigation for my greenhouse and one of my produce fields and then I’ve got 25 330 gallon totes that are hooked to various gutters or use for water transfer and then use for irrigation for the produce fields. Best thing I’ve ever done!! Hook the water totes up to an automatic watered and never have to give your birds water again!! Take care Mike

Wow I love this! So many uses! imagine being this creative wow. If ever a guy would say to me, do you want a diamond necklace for your b'day? i'd say no, i'd love a shed please! Home-made is so special but a lot of work though. And I bet it smells great with all that wood. So many uses! bird watching shed, she-shed, storing dahlias and tubers shed, chicken shed, shed shed. lol I love it! :)

@MikeKincaid79 11 місяців тому

Thanks! It was a lot of fun and very rewarding in the end. We've been using it now for 3 years and it's functioning great. My wife loves the ease of use, like collecting eggs and cleaning the coop out. Plus the storage area is perfect for keeping feed and bedding right by the chickens.

Your awesome buddy! Make sure you get that latch for your wife so she doesn't have to hold the door up when getting her eggs! Wow!

Other than that latch it was perfect!
