I thought it was 8x10, it's 8x8. my mistake

The dimensions we're something like 143.3" x 66.5" in the run area. It didn't list dimensions in the coop, though

They often don't.
I was speculating that the coop was the same width as the run 66.5" and looks square.

I have had steel sheds like this. Thing your going to run into trouble with is the sliding door, they have a tendency to hang up after while, and since your going to be using it for a coop the lower tracks are going to be a real pain to keep clean so it will close properly. You can possibly modify it to be a swing door. If you can swing it the one ocap posted may be a better value and more workable for a coop

I have one of their coops, my first stab at getting a coop up, and they are very flimsy and after two months already showing wear from weather. Needless to say I am now building a coop from scratch.

My prefab coop says fits 8 chickens, yeah think that was a typo for fits 8 chicks or juveniles. . As stated above I use mine for my juveniles that are not ready to go outside yet. Yes that means the coop is not outside either, it is half put together in my family room. . It will be turned into a permanent silkie coop, as it will only fit small birds comfortably.

That's pretty nice. I'll see if Home Depot does layaway because it's out of my budget for the week. I could probably modify it pretty easily. Thank you

You're right, I like the dimensions better and it looks sturdier. I'll work something out

I thought about something like this but we ended up funding some used dog runs off craigslist and assembled them all together and it was wayyyyyyy cheaper and its metal so it will hold up better in the weather.
