Great size. You obviously put a lot of thought into this.

I wish there were more construction detail pictures and a photo of how the divider works.

I agree that while the photos look highly promising, it needs more information about the dimensions and construction.

It would be great if the author came back and explained what did and didn't work over the past couple years and if any improvements were made.

Lots of good general tips but a bit shy on dimensions, construction details, and such thing as would allow someone to duplicate the structure.

I'd like to know how thing work in major storms with driving rains.

I'll go out tomorrow, and get more of the construction details, lumber sizes etc. Dh deleted the program he used to make the plans. As to how it does in major storms, and driving rains, it does fine. There has only been 1 hurricane that hit us, that I emptied my garage, put in wall to wall cages, and put them inside the garage. The rest of the storms, and hurricanes, I have not moved them. Usually for a regular hurricane (up to Cat 3), or really bad tropical storm (Cat 4 - 5), I will put up tarps on the one side, which is usually the direction the wind is blowing from. That helps keep them dry, because the wind blows the rain sideways. It has the proper hurricane strapping, which is a must in Florida, so it's structurally sound, and sturdy.

Excellent article!

I like the construction details, copious photos, and the evolution of the design as you tweaked it to suit your needs.

I like the multi-bay design. I'd be interested to see more photos of construction details and to know how you manage driving rain.

A nice, simple, secure design.

I'd be interested to know how the half-walls did when you got heavy weather.

I really like the idea of constructing the run in panels and making it sturdy enough to vary. I wish you'd have included more photos and construction details. It's hard to get more than a general idea of what this interesting coop is like.
