Mamachic, I can talk to Ron (Friend who built it) for you, or give you his number if you'd like. He's in Keansburg/North Middletown area. It wasn't cheap...But I insisted on all hardware cloth, so that's one reason it was so expensive..... and he only worked weekends, sometimes a weekday afternoon after his other job. But he did do a great job!

I believe I may be experiencing chicken run envy!

 

[kla37]

That is beautiful! Your chickens are so safe and happy!

Great run, and if you get tired of chickens, you could slap up some OSB and insulation and turn the run into a guest house!!!

I hope you are not using interior lumber because it won't last due to the weather. I rather spend extra money and go with treated lumber.

Very nice, spacious pen!! That pressure treated stuff will last forever (well..you know...lol).

2x4's are just as cheap as 2x2's and so much more structural. It's a nicely done job...Push come to shove, you could double plate the top of the wall, and put a real roof on it....You could never do that, with 2x2's.

Yes, I would like to put a roof on it eventually, to cut down on mud and snow in the run. I'd greatly appreciate advice on exactly how to do that!

What about using corrugated plastic roofing? I would need to raise the roof in the center or on one side right, so it slopes at an angle?

Nice coop!

We put corregated tin over 1/2, and fencing on the other 1/2.

Here's a pic - not sure how well you can see it, but the roof slopes down one side and comes down 12" down the other slope to help keep rain out.
