How durable are these Texas made chicken coops ???

1. In constructing your coop, we use only screws, rather than the less expensive nails or air-brads. From the best lumber to the exterior deck screws and galvanized wire, we select long-lasting, quality hardware.

2. The stains we use are high quality, and indicate a "re-stain" period of about four years. Since the cedar roofs don't deteriorate quickly, even without a stain, we aren't sure about that, either. They will get gray, though. There is a renewing solution for graying cedar. We haven't tried it, but we may, just as an experiment. Our stains are available at Lowes and Walmart.

3. Recently, a customer needed to borrow one of our older much-used coops while we made a new one for him. When he returned the coop, he had power-washed it. This poor old coop went out looking its age, but when it came back, it looked like almost like a new one!

4. Because most of the parts are screwed on, they can be easily replaced, should they become damaged.
