Thanku for the photos.

Thankyou

Thankyou for those photos and reply.

You did an awesome job. Yes we are working on roof now..and the openings will be similar like yours..all the way around with shutters that I can close if the weather is blowing hard on one side..and of course leave other sides open. Yah you did a really good job.

Hi there. We are building our coop..large one and it will be a lean too roof..one slope. Not peaked. So trying to think of how to do the ventilation spaces around the top. Any ideas? Please and thanku. Pictures are helpful.

I would add 1/4 inch hardware cloth over the screens in those openings. The squares are too big and predators can squeeze in. Mink..weasel..raccoon hands..

I live in Canada and apparently the pressure treated wood here is different that the state's and can make the chickens sick. What kind of wood should I use for the coop walls and the posts in the run?

Hi there! So we are starting our build and I got some good size windows that slide open for free. However they are single pane side sliders..will that be warm enough in the winter? Could I cover with a strong clear plastic in winter? Or should I buy new Windows?

Will painting it protect it? Just outside paint?

What is lathe?

What type of screening is that?

I ended up getting 3/4 inch treated CDX plywood that was noted for extreme weather conditions. $37 A sheet at Lowe's in odensberg. That will be our flooring anyway to start with up on cinder blocks.

I looked it over. Thanku..but it seems to promote open poultry houses..I have too many predators.

Do u have lots of snow where u live?

Good point.
