Ideas for coop door

[BloominOrchid]

I need help figuring out how to enclose my coop. I was thinking barn style doors, with a twist.
instead of them being solid wood, Id like to use rabbit wire as a backing, for air flow & light.
below you will see the current hole. It use to have a pull down door, that was removed years ago along with the track.
the opening measures 102in w by 82 in up and down.
And that is where my building skills end! Hubbies not due home for 3 weeks (Army) and I need to get the chickens locked in 4 days

So any building advice and supply list is most welcomed!!

I have 2 interior doors out there now, simply bc they were in the garage and I put them there

I also have 2 windows I will be covering with rabbit wire/hardware wire.
Now for the winter time Id like to have inserts to keep the cold out, crazy?

It would work, but I would worry about predators. Maybe a sheet or two of plywood would work until your husband gets back?

OK here is my progress

two sheets screwed in on the top and bolted into the cement
Framing the door & my Friends BF who "was just watching us work" and then took over

and the door is done for the day. It needs to be supported then it will get put on hinges and have 2 latches

Stay tuned for more pics & as we make more progress!
Until Coop De Ft Knox is secure the chickens are sleeping inside the house safe from the evil raccoons!
