Coop/ run update

[4theBirdz]

Here's an updated pic of my coop and run. I still need to add the roof ( after I run the hardware cloth) and the window to the side 9f coop not showing. I'll have the run fenced today so we can at least bring out the chicks ( 4weeks) for some daily field trips to get used to being outside!

Is that tall enough for you to stand up without hitting the ceiling joist?

Looks good, curious about dimensions too.

Don't forget the anti-dig apron!
Good examples of anti-dig apron installation.
If rodents are prolific, burying the apron ~12" would be good.

I am planning on the apron definitely. The run is 18' by 10'.the coop sits 2.5' off the ground and has 6'×6' floor space. Its 6' on the high end down to 5' on the short side.
