    Help! Need to refurbish inherited coop!

    I would paint the corrugated metal roof with a white elastomeric paint. This will help keep the inside cooler during the summer by reflecting the sun rays. Elastomeric roof coating is a fluid-applied, rubber-like membrane that creates a seamless, waterproof, and flexible seal, protecting roofs...
