We did. We had it at the house so we used it. Insulated the walls only. Roof is not. There are vents in front and back just below roof. Also the back has another 12" opening along the whole backside just under roof line. The front window will be carpenter cloth with a piece of removable plexiglass. Thinking of doing the same in the door.

Never heard of carpenter cloth.

We have a little siding left on the outside then we will be starting on the inside and the run. We are thinking we will put a roof over half the run and leave half open. We want to do part-time free ranging as well.
