So early spring, I built this cute little garden coop from the plans and I picked the best shady spot and all was well until a month or two ago when the morning shade tree (a very large beech tree) fell over on the neighbor's house.
It's an empty house so I didn't really care but was more curious as to how long they were going to leave it there (it's still there). However, as summer bakes on, I'm realizing that my coop is getting full sun now until about noon when my own beech trees start giving it afternoon shade.
I wouldn't worry but this is Texas and it's freaking hot.
The coop has clear panels on the roof with a gap for air below. The actual roof of the coop is hardware cloth. I'm thinking I should swap out the roof panels for plywood.
What do ya'll think? Any other suggestions?
