Thank you. I hear what you're saying but I am going horizontally because I can catch center of the stud supports which will overlap the bottom piece with the top piece so all the seams will have wood backing so there will be no squeezing through. This way I can do one continuous piece along...

Wow.. that's a nice coop!! We do have bears so I think I might now be considering the electric fence option as you are the second person on this thread to recommend it. Thanks for your feedback.
