This is our DIY Chicken Run that I custom designed and built from scratch with the help of my husband and some friends.

Building plans are here:

I was inspired by some of the other designs I found on Pinterest and chicken forums to build something beautiful. I am not an architect, but I am handy, and I ran this by my architect friend and got his blessing to proceed. It is a 16x6ft build constructed out of pressure treated wood that was custom painted and screwed together, with galvanized metal roofing and two layers of mesh wireing all around to keep animals out. It only took me about a week to construct everything, and a few weeks later to officially film it (hense why it turned to fall at the end of the video).

This was a fun experience that just about anyone could do, and it has been a blessing for our chickens! They are safe from predators, sheltered from storms, and kept dry and contained in a neat little area of our backyard. All in all I'd build it again the same way I did it this time :)

I hope this helped inspire you to build your next chicken run! It can easily be customized to fit a chicken coop inside, on the side of, or built into the design altogether.

Thanks for watching and please let me know if you have any questions!
