I know it’s a personal preference of how to build your run, but I would like pros and cons so that I can come to a decision. I can’t stop thinking about this. Haha
We have an 8x8 shed-style coop on a sloped area. It’s time to build the run. We want to build an 8x16 run but the run will extend perpendicular to the roof of the coop. The problem is that the windows of the coop sit mere inches from the roof of the coop, leaving little room for 2x4 header connections. So what I’m trying to determine is do we build the run connected to the coop and if so can we build a roof under the coop’s roof or can we rise the run roof above the coop roof. OR do we build a separate run all together and build a tunnel connecting it to the coop? Are there any arguments here for one over the other?
Here is the situation of our space:
As you can see here, there is very little room between the window and the roof.
Don’t know if it matters but the front of the coop faces south.
Here are a couple I’ve seen online that made me wonder about the alternatives.
