I started the build today! I plan to use pallets on both ends. I will drive t posts in on both sides and run welded wire along them. The roof arch will be made of 4 cattle panels. I am planning to use some metal roofing for part of the roof so the birds don't get rained on. The rest will be covered in finer wire so varmints can't get in. I want to make the roof high so the guineas will be more likely to roost there.
There's quite a few on here.
Ha, you caught that, huh? I haven't quite figured out what I want to do for a door yet. All of the birds I'm putting in these coops are juveniles so there's no eggs to collect and no reason to go in. Also trying to decide if I want to put a nest box in there. My Cornish just seem to squirt out eggs wherever they are standing. The run looked like scattered marbles on a hard wood floor when I got home from work. Might just use an old tire with a piece of rope tied on opposite sides and hope they lay in there. Then just pull it to the front and go to the rear and pull it back. Might just get one of those old fart picker upper things and reach through the opening I use to set feed and water.
I did...I'm picky like that, can see all the detriments like there's a spot light on them.
Cheers! Same here.
I've had one for four years now: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/pyxis-hoop-coop.66037/
No T-posts used, but it might help you visualize

I guess you don't need a nest<shrugs>....or a door
Or you'll keep dinking with it and add both in time.
Cheers! Same here.
