ONDULINE: Ideal Roofing For A Chicken Farm
As you will soon discover there are plenty of chicken coops for sale today. However, there are certain things that one should be considering before one makes that all important purchase. Below we offer a few tips with what you should be looking for when it comes to buying a chicken coop that will provide the amount of space and protection that the hens kept inside need.
Tip 1 - It is important that you buy a coop that is of a solid structure and which will last for many years to come. The best types of coops are those where the wood has been pressure treated and tanalised as they won't need any maintenance and can last for up to 20 years. But these coops may prove expensive and if your budget is limited that go for the standard treated coop instead. However, make sure that it has been treated using non toxic materials and remember to annually retreat it.
Tip 2 - You need to ensure that the coop will be weatherproof and so it is important that the roof overhangs the main part to ensure that rain will flow off it easily. An apex roof is your best option but there are a few coops that come with flat roofs which slope away from the door and then goes off the back. Plus the roofing material should be of a kind that not only is impervious to water but provides a good level of insulation as well. Most chicken coops for sale today will have roofs that have good quality roofing felt on them or a material like Onduline, which prevents mites from finding places to live.

White or cool roofs are made using the simple idea that a lighter surface will reflect heat rather than tar or asphalt that absorbs heat.
