We typically only get a handful of days over 90-degrees in a year. It's 5 sq ft of 24x7 ventilation + whatever I frame out in windows for 4 on-the-smaller-side chickens (2 golden comets, 1 easter egger, 1 silkie.) That does not include the pop-door. That's all ventilation off the top so that...

If I use the plywood deck sheeting and some roof felt on top of that, how much shorter should I cut the sheeting compared to the roof? Is one upside-down U sufficient to be extended beyond the sheeting? I figure if it goes too far, it could lose structural support and bend. How far beyond the...
