My daughter loves your design so do i we don't really get rain like that my coop has 3 open sides i made inserts for winter I should put them in and just to take a picture I will when I'm totally done revitalizing everythingI've put a lot of photos in my thread, but I thought I'd drop these here. We've had 36 hours of near-continuous rain, sometimes blowing strongly (and are expecting like conditions the rest of the week).
Even without latches (old hardware didn't fit), the nestboxes are dry.

DH has ideas for a storm panel in case of hurricanes.

I'm not seeing this latch in the pics?That should be PERFECT. I already sent DH the picture so he can stop at the hardware store.
It seemed the best possible option to vent a small coop in a place where "in case of hurricanes" isn't a joke.![]()
I had these on a converted dog house. They were older and never had a break-in. Then I built a hoop coop. After about 4 years the ones I bought for the coop started loosing the springs. The 50 years old new ones I had laying around are still fine. Most new stuff is junk.
"In case of hurricanes" is why I built mine with Hardie board. What are you doing to hold it down in high winds, since its tall relative to width, and top heavy? Earth Augers, steel wire and shackles, or some other plan? It is the season, as you know...
