Ta, Nettie!...Dave, they sell them at that price because they CAN sell them at that price!.....My mate Paul makes chicken coops that would cost £250 in a garden centre to the same quality, and sells for £130. I bought one off him. He makes and sells one a day! They cost about £30 in materials so you can work out his income from that.

There is definatly a market out there for all sorts of wood items, my son makes hutches, coops, kennels etc and a local feed merchant, chain of pet shops buy them off him, he fell into this quite by accident by commenting on some workmanship on a kennel that was in one of the shops, we know the owner so he was discussing it with us, then he asked my son to make him some items and ever since has bought them off him. A very enterprising sixteen year old!

That's where you're going wrong Andy, the trick is to move on
