Hello - I have been lurking on this site for a while and have found many great ideas for my coop design and thought I would share what I have done so far.

I have not had much time to work on the coop. I have however finished the pop hole. I plan on adding a pulley system to raise the door from outside the pen.

hey Firefyter-Emt , I had thought the same thing (only snow) might build up & block the bottom of the track thats why I cut the hole smaller than the cover so it doesnt need to shut all the way to cover the hole

Plus it will block any drafts.

Hey Gunslinger... nice design. However I see a couple potential problems. You have 2x4s on the ground which will lend to termites getting a belly full of the lumber. The second , what about the pesky predators easily digging under the boards and making a nice chicken snack.
