Hi! I currently have the same type of metal fencing for my chicken run and I want to add a roof to a 10 X10 section of it - how did you attach the metal sheeting to the metal fencing? Also, do know if there would be a way to make a slanted roof using the same materials? I was excited to see your post as I am hoping to not have to do much modification or construction for this project.I’m using dog kennels to and my top is chain link and half metal roof and we used top rail fencing and clamps for cross bracing and support legs hope these pictures help!View attachment 3231854View attachment 3231855
The metal sheeting is screwed into the top rail poles that we used for support! I’m not sure as to making it slant more maybe adding some 2 x 4s on one end to give some slant but I’m not really sure. We don’t really get snow so we didn’t really worry about much slant for itHi!

Slant, in the right direction, is needed for rain tooWe don’t really get snow so we didn’t really worry about much slant for it
The rain runs off and doesn’t seem to puddle anywhere so maybe it’s got a tad bit of slantSlant, in the right direction, is needed for rain too![]()

Is that an OverEZ coop?Hey guys! We have some really low temps coming here in Michigan and I think I might need to up my ventilation before it happens tomorrow afternoon. There’s a 3ftx6in vent in my coop but it’s right behind the roosting bars. This hasn’t been an issue until now. Now I’m thinking it’s not high enough. I woke up this morning to some frost on the inside of the coop window and one wall also by the window. You’ve all been so helpful with everything else I was hoping you could give me some advice on this one! I have 4 hens and the coop is not insulated. I’m reluctant to add a heat source as they terrify me! Wind has not come in through their vent behind the roosting bars. Thanks so much!
