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

What happens here

Using a miter saw, accurately cut the 2x2 pressure-treated lumber into specific lengths required for the A-frame's base, side supports, and vertical elements. The design follows a 3-4-5 triangle principle, with a 6-foot base, 5-foot slant sides, and a 4-foot height, ensuring structural integrity.

Goal: Prepare all wooden components for the coop's A-frame structure

Tools and materials

  • Miter Saw DeWalt — Precisely cutting lumber to length
  • Pressure-Treated 2x2 Lumber — The structural components of the frame
