Hoop coop question

[brains]

Ok I need to build another coop for 12 new chicks I got last week. My plan is to build an 8' x 6' main coop with 4-6 nest boxes mounted on the outside. I am im the process of gathering pallets for this part. The front of the coop will hava chicken door that will lead out to a 4 panel hoop run made out of cattle panels and hardware cloth
My question is how tall is the hoop when assembled and how wide do you make the frame?
Since we are expecting more snow this weekend I would like to start building the coop portion but need to know how tall I should make the legs

Thanks in advance
Ed

Thanks for the info. Just found a freestanding tree house/fort 4x8 complete for free on craigslist. I might be done sooner than I think
