Do I need more windows?

[jimz1]

Coop is almost done. It only has windows on 1 side. Do you think I need more?

I think you are great for windows. Make sure you leave room up high for adequate ventilation. Looks great!

Not for light.

You probably do need a fair bit more ventilation, but it usually works better to have purpose-made ventilation openings (not fancy prefab grille things from the store, just openings you secure hardwarecloth over), especially up atop the walls under the overhang, between the rafters (tho I can see you worked hard to custom-cut your sheathing to cover that

) and/or at the top of the stud walls just below the top plate of the wall.

Good luck, have fun,

Pat

I plan to put vents in just below the rafters. I was thinking 2 vents per side,about 4" high by 2' long. I am going to make covers on hinges on the inside so I can open and close them whenever I need to.
