Good instructions to built a L-shape coop/run in a warm climate. A few things surprised me though: the tin roof, and it looks as if you didn't sand off the sharp edges of the roosts. Missed a exact list underneath the photo what to buy, but I suppose most of the builders can work that out for themselves.

Love it that you showed all the changes you made after 2 years.
I’ve never built anything in my life but I really need a larger area for my chickens. I’m going to attempt a build like yours. Thank you for sharing.
Looks like an excellent coop/run!
Simple build and perfect for hot climates! It's fabulous.

This is the main inspiration for my own hot climate, Open Air coop build. Fabulous coop, clear plans, and great build photos.
Fantastic HUGE open air palace!
i would like a coop just like this!
Well written article!
As a fellow texan I wish I would have built my coop like this! What a well thought out and greatly executed coop/run. Love it! Also great pictures!
Really great open air build appropriate for a hot climate, and proof that a coop does not need to be a tightly enclosed box, nor does a coop have to be a distinct and separate unit from the run. It's simple but does the job of providing shelter and protection from the elements and predators. Having the hardware cloth outside the plywood enclosure was a smart choice - yes it cost a little extra, but as you noted it added extra security and made it possible to have the walls not fit seamlessly together.
I love this!! Straightforward design, excellent photos that are actually helpful, and solves several questions/problems! Thank you!!!
