Brahma Mama, No rooster. I don't think we'll ever have one due to the noise. We are going to do meat chickens though.

Surf chicken, The posts were 8'. We put them about 2' in the ground with concrete, then snaped a line and cut all the posts to the same height, which ended up very close to 6'.

I didn't keep real good track of the costs. Most of the lumber and siding I had around the house, and the windows were donations. I had to buy the posts, cement, and fencing. I'd guess if I had to run out and purchase everything new it would have cost around $1500. Who keeps track of costs...

Ellieroo, It's been a month since you got your tarp, I was just wondering if your still happy with it? Hope so.

EllieRoo - Just got back from vacation, and am very happy to find that all went well with your tarp! Thank you very much for ordering from an 'online stranger'. Thanks again - Ryan

ELLIE ROO - I'm going to be on vacation for a couple of weeks. Please call my store at (775) 782-7663 or send an e-mail to [email protected] for the shade netting. If you call, ask for Cary and she will get you set up on the tarp. Thanks alot! Ryan

The snow will 'melt' throught it, but not 'fall' through it and accumulate underneath. I'm not sure if that makes sense or not, but they do hold up excellent to snow. One guy who works with me used one on a dog run about three years ago and says it still looks like new. We are in a valley...

ellieroo, No, not a big box store. I own a small roofing supply yard in nevada and sell all kinds of stuff. I mainly sell the sun shades to roofers who use them as tarps for their trash trailers so when they tarp a load the wind can blow through the tarps. The tarp is actually what they call...

I don't want to try and 'sell' anything, but my store has the sun shade available for $.60/square foot plus ups shipping. It can be made in any size or shape you want. I am sure happy with it!

ellieroo, How did you secure sunshade and what wire was used to cover top of run??? The sunshade is secured with screw eyes screwed into the tops of the panel rail then light duty chain from the screw eyes to the gromets in the sunshade. There is no wire on the top of the run. Just the 70%...

HillbillyHen - thanks for the advise on the lamp. I never thought of that! I will secure it tonight. All of you people on this site are so nice and helpful, that we're (the whole family) in total awe. We feel like we have some type of new extended 'chicken family'. Thanks to all!

New2Peeps - I don't have any plans that I could submit. We just started building and adding, then added some more, and a little more. Just let your mind wander! Thanks to everyone for the super nice comments. We'll keep everyone posted if we add or change anything else. Ryan

Thanks for the nice comments!!! We are so happy to be apart of this new community!

We're finished with our coop and enclosure after three weekends of work and are so proud of it we wanted to share our page with everyone on this site! I don't think we would have made such a great coop without all the wonderful coop designs we checked out that are listed on this site. So here...
