Ahh didn't think about the Snow! fortunately we don't get it often here. maybe every few years in the part of Scotland where i am. But when it snows. it snows hard! so that's a very good point about not using the A frame!. The coop its self we already have. it was just a standard Pawhut branded one with 2 nest boxes. The 8x8 build is just for the run that I can modify onto the coop. so probably go with the cube shape build then with a lean roof and hardware cloth on the sides. I heard 1inch holes in the mesh should be the maximum gap size?
Absolutely Love that old style barn looking coop!! Wish my skills where that advanced!
Thank you.
The monitor roof was my husband's idea and it is one of the best decisions we've ever made.
