I'm just building a shed like coop. It will have a floor and a couple windows. It will be on the larger side to accomdate them and any seperation I may gave(two boys) plus my rabbits. The run is about 15 ft wide, so the coop may end up being 16x16 with as little cutting as possible. I have the...

I wish I could figure out how to do a roof around it. It's solid. The branch that fell on it was pretty heavy and the damage isn't bad, but will take two people to fix. I probably could make the roof from the inside but I'm not sure I want to lose that much of the run to wood support.. I may...

Well kind of. It will be somewhat connected to the coop once I make that.

I already have the hardware cloth. I have the roofing shingles for the coop. I just got to work on the wood and roof panels I need. Everyone keeps saying that size, but it's not that size really. How does one do a 4 x6 run with roof? Do they use concrete or a 2x4 for a base? I very rarely see...

Yes several of them. So I would make a wall panel that is about 4-6 ft long and then run a 2x4 8 ft into the run and thenhave a support 2x4, then run the same thing from the other side connecting those from different angles would create more of a 4x4 then a 2x4. I wish I could draw but that...

Each wall would be about 4-6 ft wide and go into the run about 8 ft. Each wall would have its own support system and then connect it together. So I would support at most 48 sq ft on its own. It's hard to explain but I think it would work. I checked out the run at the feed store that they built...

The whole area is 25x25. I am not building a roofing system for the whole area as one unit. I will be making it like I have multiple runs. Each "run" in the run will have its own support. I do not even think it's possible to get enough support for a 25x25 run.

I thought about doing something within the run like that but it would be more if a hassle for access. I figured if I did smaller sections it would be no different then someone doing a 6x15 run that didn't use concrete. That's why I would break it up into section. Section 1-2 would be some kind...

The snow. Never know when or how much we will get. We could go the whole season without it or get hit hard. They did ok in the summer with the heat and even the rain. If I'm doing a roof I want them to have options.

I didn't use concrete with the one I have now and it is solid, does not move at all. I would love to leave it and then add the roof, but I don't see how.

Is there any way to not use concrete? I really do not want to at all. That would be why I would do smaller walls. I was thinking the base would be treated 2x4s and then 2x4s every 2-4 feet with one or two pieces connecting those 2x4s for added support. So for an 8 ft section I would have 2-4...

My plan is to build a coop and attach it. I'm not sure I can pull off connecting them with the whole roof thing. The run is that big but divided in half between the ducks and chickens. I plan in keeping the duck house in the pen like it is and extended it out a couple feet(fencing off an area...

Of course I've been thinking about this non stop all day and will continue to think as I go. Is it possible to build a good enough support system without putting posts in the ground? Plans in my head are changing every hour on the hour in my head. I originally was going to put the prefab in...

So I would use 2x4s wherever I have a pole now, correct? Just build it the same way with wood? Will I need any pole support in the middle of the run? This wouldn't be to bad because I can add "roost bars from post to post. To bad I can't use the tree branches for some kind of support. I got...

Well money is one thing lacking right now..lol Now partial is sounding better. I've been so sick since we lost power for a few days. Then the branch fell on the run. I probably need to get all the tree branches cut first. I wanted to build a coop and attach it to the run. I may have to go back...

i would like to cover this run with clear panels. I was thinking of making a wood structure on the inside of the run to support it with 2x4s. Are 2x4s strong enough to support a roof of this run. The run is about 25x25 or so Pitched? Sloped? How many inches does it need to be? If I go from the...
