From Design to Delivery: What Makes Dakota's Custom Coops a Cut Above

Written by Dakota Storage Buildings | April 25, 2025

Finding a quality chicken coop for sale isn’t always easy. With so many options available, homeowners and farmers often struggle to find a coop that meets their exact needs, withstands the elements, and provides a seamless purchasing experience.

Many coops lack customization options, making it difficult to find the right size and layout. Others come with frustrating delivery processes or minimal customer support, leaving buyers feeling overwhelmed and unsupported.

At Dakota, we believe buying a backyard chicken coop should be as simple and stress-free as possible.

From our 3D Configurator Tool that lets you personalize your coop to our hassle-free delivery and ongoing customer support, we’ve designed an experience that puts you first. Here’s how we make every step of the journey enjoyable — ensuring you get a high-quality, custom chicken coop without the headaches.

Create the Perfect Home for Your Flock With the 3D Configurator

A backyard chicken coop should be more than just functional — it should fit your needs and preferences. That’s why we offer a 3D Configurator Tool, allowing you to design your coop exactly the way you want it. Instead of settling for a pre-made option that might not meet all your requirements, you can customize everything to match your space, flock size, and personal style.

Choose Your Size & Layout 

Need extra space for nesting boxes? Want a walk-in design? Choose the dimensions to fit your flock comfortably and efficiently. Whether you have a small backyard flock or a larger setup, you can design a custom chicken coop for sale that provides plenty of room for roosting, egg-laying, and movement.

Explore High-Quality Materials 

Pick from sturdy roofing and features built to last through all seasons. Our custom chicken coops are constructed with LP® SmartSide® Panel Siding, LP® ProStruct Flooring with SmartFinish® & Epoxy Finish, and durable hardware to ensure long-term reliability. Choose between CertainTeed® NorthGate® SBS Shingles and 29-Gauge Steel Tuff Rib Panel roofing and from a variety of high-quality, Sherwin-Williams paint colors.

Optimize Door & Window Placement 

Customize door and window placement to enhance ventilation, accessibility, and security. Choose entry and chicken door locations for easy access, add windows for airflow and natural light, and reinforce both with wire mesh for predator protection.

See Your Coop Take Shape Instantly

The 3D Configurator provides a real-time preview so you can see exactly how your custom chicken coop will look before you order. Play with different layouts, colors, and features until you create the perfect coop for your property.

By putting full control in your hands, we ensure that every coop is built to suit your space, climate, and flock size perfectly — eliminating the compromises that come with standard, one-size-fits-all coops. 

Crafted With Care, Designed for Durability

A great design is only as good as its craftsmanship. At Dakota, we take pride in building high-quality coops that stand the test of time. Our team of skilled craftsmen ensures that each custom chicken coop is designed for durability, functionality, and long-term use, so you get the best value for your investment.

What sets our coops apart?

Expert Craftsmanship: Our experienced builders carefully construct each coop with precision, ensuring it’s sturdy, functional, and built to last. From precise cuts to secure fittings, every detail matters.

Premium Materials: We use pressure-treated wood, long-lasting roofing, and reinforced hardware to keep your coop weather-resistant and predator-proof. Unlike cheaper coops that degrade quickly, our structures are built to handle years of use.

Attention to Detail: Every coop is carefully inspected to meet our high-quality standards before it leaves our facility. From smooth finishes to secure locks and hinges, we ensure that each coop meets the highest standards of safety and comfort.

Instead of settling for flimsy, mass-produced coops that require constant repairs, you’ll get a well-built structure that is designed for durability, comfort, and easy maintenance — so you can spend more time enjoying your chickens and less time worrying about their housing.
