Only problem is, if they decide they want to lay eggs under there! Here in Phoenix, we put coops on the NORTH side of anything to keep them in the shade! We love a north wind here if it's cool!

I am just at the "thinking" stage of a 4 X 8 coop as well, and would love to end up with something very similar to yours! Maybe I'll steal a couple of ideas.... Malcolm
