    Costco shed coop + DIY covered run on slope progress album

    I got some windows off Amazon that thinner in width, great for this type of shed/coop. Framed out with wood on outside and inside. 2 for 75.00. They open with a screen. On the out side I put hardware cloth. I thought I had a pic but I cant find it. Everything looks great.
