First Coop/Run Build - Looking for Guidance/Comments on Design

Starting with the base, the entire coop/run area is 28x10 with the coop itself 8x8.
4x4s for the posts with 2x6s under the 3/4" plywood floor.

I forgot to take pictures when installing the siding but it is T1-11 from one of the big box stores.

Building roof trusses was new for me and all I can say is thank goodness for Youtube.

One side has a 2 foot overhang that covers part of the run.

5/8" plywood followed by roofing felt and shingles.
Not sure if you can tell from the pictures but there is also a roof vent.

On to the run which is made of 2x4s and hardware cloth. For the roof I added extra support between the long 2x4s to deal with snow.
