Ideas on how to attach the run

[sled483]

Alright came up with a new idea.

Any thoughts? Planing on covering with hardware cloth, adding a door and changing out the roof with the corrugated panels. It's 10x20 and if I need to reinforce the sides I can either get more piping or use the wood I have for the deck. I'm just thinking this will give me a pretty good frame to build on. Has anyone done this?

I would be worried about the snow load, we've all seen those collapsed in people's yards, maybe with some reinforcement and the corrugated panels it might work, being so light you might have to anchor it down so the wind don't grab it.

they do sell one of those that has a metal roof on them already we have seen them here in IL they cost alittle more but would be about the same price if you got the one you posted and then had to turn around and buy the new roofing metal.... also the ones we see here in IL with the metal roofs have poles that are more ridged then the ones with the cloth roofs.

here is a price for the area i live in from menards http://www.menards.com/main/buildin...18l-x-7h-storage-shelter/p-1967144-c-5865.htm

I am turning the 8x8 shed into a chicken coop with a large attached run. I want the run to include the double door as well as the left side wall. It's going the be about 20x10. I can't figure out how to attach the run to the wall with the doors however.
I'm going to cover the run with the plastic roofing material. I want it to look nice. I was thinking of just having the front area flat. I'm just worried about snow. I'm not sure how to make a slanted roof attaching to a gambrel roof and still have it look nice. Here's a sketch on what I'm trying to do. If anyone has any pictures I would really appreciate it. My brain just can't figure out how to make this work. Sorry the drawing is so bad. No artistic skills in that area.

I will do my best to explain how we attached the run to our shed. First on the bottom 2x4 floor frame portion We attached our 2x4x10 horizontally to extend the run frame out. I attached a picture. The red color represents the 2x4s I added to close up shed and also attach run. Hope that helps
