A little about us

Good wood, careful hands

Built To Grow started the way a lot of good things do — building something solid for our own backyard, then for a neighbor, then for their neighbor. Today we still build every coop, run, and planter ourselves, one at a time, with the kind of care you'd put into your own place.

No factory line, no flat-pack kits. Just real lumber, predator-tight hardware cloth, and a roof and siding you got to choose. We'll bring it to you finished, or build it on-site — whatever's easiest for your family and your flock.

What we build

Made to fit your space

Everything is sized to your yard and your flock, and built to handle Michigan weather. Choose your roof and siding — we'll take care of the rest.

Custom chicken coop with covered run

Coops & Runs

Lean-to or gable roof, walk-in or raised, coop-and-run combos sized to your flock. Your pick of PVC, polycarbonate, or metal roof and T1-11, wide-groove, or board & batten siding.

From around $48 / sq ft
Covered run with hardware cloth

Covered Runs

Roomy, predator-resistant runs built around your existing coop — galvanized hardware cloth, a buried perimeter, and a weatherproof roof of your choosing.

From around $22 / sq ft
Raised cedar planter boxes

Cedar Planters

Raised cedar planter boxes in set sizes ready to order, plus custom dimensions and an optional critter-proof screened lid to keep the harvest yours.

Choose your roof & siding

Every build comes with a solid standard setup. If you'd like to change the look or let in more light, these are the choices — small add-ons, never pressure.

Roofing

Included
Polycarbonate Lets daylight pour in · far tougher than fiberglass
+ $3 / sq ft
Metal roof Galvanized steel · longest-lasting, most timeless look
+ $5 / sq ft

Coop Siding

Coops only — covered runs are open-air mesh, so they don't use siding.

T1-11 (4" groove) Classic, sturdy, paint-ready exterior plywood
Included
T-1 wide-groove (8" OC) Bolder vertical lines for a barn-style look
+ $1 / sq ft
Board & batten That warm modern-farmhouse profile, batten by batten
+ $5 / sq ft
