Feedback on run....to roof or not?

[Rachela]

My roof was built very strong. Also used shiny metal panels. The snow just slides off. No need for a roof rake thank goodness.

Do you have a pic handy I’d love to see

We are doing a 10x16 run and we are roofing half of it. Shade, snow, rain, just in general we want them to have the option to be protected from the weather some and still be able to go outside.

Will you slope the whole roof then just add panels to a part of it?

Would have to be pretty darn steep, or perfect conditions, for snow to slide off easily.

Yes, pics please @wamtazlady

We will probably slope all of the framing. The side that isnt roofed will still have chicken wire ceiling and I think it will be easier if all of it is level vs trying to cover gaps.

I think the snow comes off just because the roofing is so slick and shiny. It is not as slanted as the house roof. The run roof has repurposed wood flooring underneath it. The sheds have metal roofs but not shiny and snow does not come off them very easily. The coop itself has asphalt shingles. The house has the red metal roof.

I am still adding roof rafters but back wall are about 26” apart and thinking I should add another 2x4 in between so wall doesn’t crush.
It’s 7x12

@aart

Make your run as strong as you are financially able to make it. Consider the weight of the snow as well as the rafters and any roofing material.

@aart

Std stud and rafter spacing is 16".
Both these match up with other standard lumber, like plywood.
Why did you choose 26"?
@DobieLover could advise better than I at this point.
