Chicken coop build 8’ x 20’

[My Very First 6 Chickens]

It's possible to retrofit roof overhangs:

Here's how-to (and how not to), extend a roof by sistering the extension to the rafters: https://strousehomeinspections.com/blog/structural-roof-extensions.html

And here is how to use lookouts to extend the roof at right-angles to the rafters: https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...e-overhangs-eaves-of-a-shed-coop-house.76599/

I wish i did!! My coop floods 90% with heavy rain. Fortunately it drains fairly quickly. When that happens tho, i put pallets down. French drain is my next big project. Wish i thought of it before the build. Good luck!

We added the French drain and built the area up because the build site flooded right before we got started. It was all under water. Hopefully we did enough to mitigate should it flood again.

Good luck with your French drain. You can rent a trench digger from Home Depot and that makes it an easier project.
