Gazebo Coop

[MomsGoneMild]

I am in South Florida, so was thinking my girls need some serious air flow. I have a very large garden gazebo that lost it's canopy in a storm last year. I was wondering if I could just cover the entire thing in the appropriate wire/cloths, then simply build a small enclosed area toward the back. I plan to have no more than 6 chickens. (I said 3 or 4 last week).

Has anyone ever seen a gazebo used for a coop, or have any ideas on things I will have to consider?

Sounds like a good idea to me! And you are right, heat will be your challenge, and they will need lots of breeze and shade.

Here's a thread about hot weather coops; perhaps some of the pics will be helpful:
