Looks good. That would be good for the winter here.

we thought that was the easiest part! (4 panels on the smaller coop and 5 on our turkey coop)
we used metal strapping (the strapping with all the holes in it used for hanging plumbing pipe) and made "hinges" to attach the panels to the 2X4's.. then just lifted up the other end and placed it inside the frame. When we build the next one I'll be sure to take pics !
One more thing...when you wire the hardware cloth to the cattle panels, be sure you have the wire "tails" on the inside of the hoop coop. Otherwise, when you drag the tarp across the panels, the wire ends will either poke through the tarp (creating leaks) or even tear it is it gets windblown.
I spent hours today bending all the wires to the inside before putting on the new tarp..... It was cold & drizzly and my fingers were numb.
