Rustic Chicken Coop in Raised Vegetable Garden

Surrounded by gravel paths, this weathered timber chicken coop and wire run house roaming hens beside wooden raised beds filled with lush vegetable plants climbing a green trellis.

Design notes

Rustic design celebrates texture: stacked stone, rough timber, reclaimed brick and iron, with planting allowed to soften every edge. Look for honest materials that weather well, fire and water as focal points, and a plan underneath the informality so circulation and seating stay deliberate.

What to look for

  • Path width and bed width — can you reach and can a wheelbarrow pass
  • Where the water is and how far the kitchen door is
  • Edges and structure that still look good in winter
