Used 2x3s for rafters(ripped 2x6s in half).
Hatch door open for easy cleaning.
Nesting boxes from the inside. Chicken wire was installed on the inside of the windows above the nesting boxes in order to keep; the sashes open for ventilation. Used a 2x2 ripped in half on a 45 degree angle for a base board on the inside to make it a little easier to sweep out the old litter during cleanout.

The nest boxes are oversized because I had the room. The roof is hinged 7/16" OSB with an aluminum skin for weather proofing and reflecting the sun.
The coop is 4' x 8'. The end walls are 4' high and the sides are 6' from bottom of floor framing to the peak of the gable. The coop sits on a 2' high pedestal but I would make the next one 3' high to avoid hitting your head on the sharp roof panels.
