Hi Crowber. What a beautiful coop. Love the purple! Would you mind sharing the plans? We have a coop and its falling apart so we need to build a new one! Thanks so much
It's got ridge vents plus soffit vents and also the window by the flower box. That should be enough. The inside of the coop is nice and cool in the summer. So I think it's good. I'm also thinking of adding a cupola on that metal roof in the near future
Hey Ed, the rest of the coop isn't done yet. There is a gate on the other side and the run. But the other side doesn't look nice because the run is a temporary ugly one I built (Building the new one tomorrow) and the other side is missing pallets. I promise to take more pics soon.
Wow, I can't believe the support I'm getting from you guys!! Thank you very much! About the high winds, you're right @21hens-incharge, I do have 1/2 osb tied down with decking screws. So if I get long enough metal screws that goes thru the plywood and into the rafters then it should be strong...
Hello all, I'm new to this awesome forum and also new to raising chickens that we're excited about. I'm on Long Island New York it can get cold and snowy here in the winter months. I have 1/2" plywood on the roof. Can I just put the metal roof on top of the plywood or do I have to add the 1x3...
Hello all! I'm new here and new with raising chickens too! We are excited about this. I started to build a chicken coop out of pallet wood and we want to install a metal roof. I have 1/2 plywood on already. Can I just put the metal roof on top of the plywood? Thanks in advanced!!
Cheers
