As my mother said, a tornado could take out the house, but the coop would still be standing. We made the coop almost exactly to spec with a few minor modifications:
We placed the door on the side so we could add a run and keep cleaning a bit easier.
We couldn’t find a window that small for a cheap price so we went bigger.
We widened the access door to almost full width for easier maneuvering.
We added two overlapping trays for easier clean out.
We built it in pieces since we had to transport it in the back of a truck from my dad’s shop to our house.
We insulated the roof to keep it cooler in the summer (which partially helps).
All dimensions, other than the window and the door, are the same as the original design.
