DIY Chicken Coop for Under $275 | What Did I Do Wrong?

What happens here

Begin by tacking the pre-cut 2x2 lumber pieces together using a stapler to form the A-frame structure. Once the basic shape is established, reinforce all critical joints by driving in multi-purpose screws with an impact driver. This two-stage process (tacking then screwing) ensures the frame is both initially stable and permanently secure.

Goal: Construct the full A-frame wooden structure of the chicken coop
