YOU ARE BIDDING ON DO-IT-YOURSELF PLANS

8 x 8 Chicken Coop

Shed Plans DIY Do-It-Yourself

You are bidding on Shed Plans. You will be receiving an easy-to-understand, color booklet of Do It Yourself Instructions that will enable you to build an 8x8 Chicken Coop from your own materials. Your Plans will include step by step instructions, a materials list, a cut list, and rafter templates for hassle-free construction.

Jamaica Cottage Shop, Inc. engineers all of our shed plans to be geared toward do-it-yourself homeowners who understand the basics of framing a building or professional contractors.  The plans are set up in an easy-to-understand format and are not blueprint in style.

The trigonometry of the roof triangles is simplified with traceable cut-out roof templates.  The proper wall heights and roof pitches that keep the structure proportionate and aesthetically pleasing are separated so that a professional can bypass the explanations. 

The plans do not provide a beginner carpenter with the knowledge of how to build.  What they do provide is a clear step-by-step process for assembling the structure.  The plans are set up for true dimensional lumber and include a material list and a highly detailed cut list and are the same plans that match our part-numbered and color-coded pre-cut kits which are available on our website. 

Technical support is available via our toll free tech support line.
