With her backyard being so small, this DIYer realized she needed to add vertical space to the coop for her chickens to have more room. Using scrap pieces of wood leftover from when her husband built their deck, she built a base for the coop, raising the playhouse up.

She covered the sides with hardware cloth, and painted the wood white. She caulked around the bottom with clear silicone to keep the inside dry during snow or rain.
