With the doors down, cleaning the poop board is super easy! A 5 gallon bucket fits under the edge and just scrape off the poop with a hoe or trowel. A wheelbarrow will go under the edge of the drop down doors for easy removal of the shavings.
How it looks with the under coop area included in the run. I did put 4 2x4's up inside (in an X shape) to protect against blowing winds. The pvc pipe is attached to the coop and the landscape timber frame with pipe strap.
I made the floor out of tables used at an auction place. The roof is covered with a large heavy plastic sheeting from an old billboard sign. I have since cleaned out underneath the coop and put wire around the bottom and added 2 more nest boxes. Very shady and cool in the hot summer. More ventilation is used then, too.

Two drop down doors on the back make cleaning a breeze.
The inside of my 6x8 raised coop. Plexiglass windows on back wall are removable for summer. Hardware cloth over the openings.
