No idea where you are, but WOW !! free !

Don't look for "COOP", look for shed

I didn't know what you found as I was at work and couldn't open the link. But, that looks great - except that I wouldnt know what to do with it in regards to a chicken coop/run. It doesn't look like it would fit in the back of my vehicle either.
How would one tear down a carport? Lol

They are all bolted/screwed together.
I had to hire someone to put it up ONLY because I didn't have the arm strength to screw the screws into the Very thick beams
Now see if I had friends... hahahaha

I posted this in 2016. The interior changes constantly. The roosts have been changed several times. I started with individual nest boxes that I bought. Then I built a unit with 6 nest boxes (3 over 3) Each nest box was 16" wide by 16" deep. Sometimes they all pile into a single nest box, even with a broody hen sitting on eggs! Here is a link to the original photos. I will try to update the photos asap.

It looks great @Coop de Grass. I think I might have seen that thread when I was searching.
I ended up not getting the resin shed as I was pretty much talked out of it due to not having natural shade.
We eventually built a chicken coop out of scraps. It's probably not to any code, but the chickens like it.

That is what I really wanted to do, but time was an issue, so we did the resin... there is always a new arrangement waiting to happen! I saw some pallets at work and have permission to take them. I'm going to use it to close up one corner of the run.

I added a few sheds to our existing coops and I can tell you how I did mine... Mine are metal but same idea as the risin though, I bought a hole saw bit for my drill and added vent holes around the top ( the size is 1 1/2" diameter) I made several for ventilation.
I made a free standing roost out of 2x4's for them and I made nesting boxes that are two high and 3 wide. These are 2 nest and 3 nest and free standing also.
It works great! Easy to clean throughout with a pressure washer in nice weather.
I also made a screen door for mine too I was really nervous about doing this by myself but I was able to conquer it!
The one thing that I did mess up on was I was off on the cutting on one side of the roost so my husband did fix that for me!

Hi! I think this is great! Do you have any pictures?

I'm super late to this thread but it's been very helpful because I'm building a coop from a resin shed. Thanks for the tip to use a very fine tooth metal blade on my jigsaw to cut the resin. It was like butter. I'd like to see some more pictures of the coops that you all built.
