Is it ok to paint the coop and run?Updated 5 months ago

You can absolutely paint your coop or if you like the existing stain color you can re-stain it. We offer you a discounted stain option on our website with our exact color that you can pick it up at your local Sherwin-Williams. 

Many families paint the coop to match their house or their style preferences. You can use any quality exterior paint. Please make sure the surface is dry before your flock goes in. Heavy-duty exterior paints are great, as a coat or two will help strengthen and protect your wood. You can do the inside of the coop but it isn't needed for protection the first time if you want and then the outside when you feel it needs it. 

Just like any outdoor structure, it's wise to protect with a stain or a paint as it starts to look worn.
