I started with some scrap 2x4s and made a 4'x6' floor I put the joists 18" on center so I could use less wood and figured it didn't have to be super load bearing...
Then I started adding legs and I made the legs two foot long to put the floor off the ground to help with cleaning as well as being able to later store things under. I used two full length 2x4s in the back corners so the coop would be tall enough to stand in with a roof on...
I made the front two corners 6 1/2' to make the front 4 foot inside the coop and give the roof enough angle to let snow fall off in the winter...
Next I added another 8' 2x4 to close to center in the back in order to provide for a a door. Then I made the floor from 1"x5" rough cut deck boards...and added two 5' long 2x4 for mount a roof to...
Next I framed out a door using 2x4s and used zip ties to hold it in place...
Cut pressure treated deck boards to make the sides and back door and back wall...
I used scrap 2x8s and a 2x6s for the front wall cut the 2x6s to leave a whole for front door...
Made a front door from leftover deck boards...added two 2x4s to screw roof to. Added corregated tin roof and then added some wheels to help move it...couldn't lift it by myself...used a 2500lb winch to get it on a trailer to move it in place...
And the end result!
Couple of groupies...
