Hello all. I've taken on the task of building my own chicken run, which you would find amazing if you knew me (no carpenter skills). I started last weekend. I have the foundation/walls all standing and I'm staring at the roof and thinking I would like to really predator-proof it, so thinking about screwing in some well-fit plywood up there and throwing some ribbed roof panels on top of that. I've never installed those but googling them, it looks like you normally attach to something called purlins.
Do I have to have those or can I screw those panels directly into the plywood? I have about a foot slope from front to back and just trying to figure out the best way to do my roof... but hate to spend more $$ if I don't have to (but I will if I need them). Thanks!
