Metal inside coop?

[3KillerBs]

I think we might do some kind of elongated, short cupola on the roof. It might look a little funky, but I'm not trying to win any awards for aesthetics,

A Cupola, Monitor, or Clerestory is an excellent way to get draft-free, high-level ventilation. Gable vents also work well and are probably the most practical for converting a lean-to structure.

Putting the venting under generous roof overhangs keeps the air flowing during severe weather. Here are a couple links about how to extend the roof if necessary.

Here's how-to (and how not to), extend a roof by sistering the extension to the rafters: https://strousehomeinspections.com/blog/structural-roof-extensions.html

And here is how to use lookouts to extend the roof at right-angles to the rafters: https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...e-overhangs-eaves-of-a-shed-coop-house.76599/

reading over this post it seems my post was misinterpreted by some which happens online quite a bit, I was just trying to explain the physics behind why condensation forms, with enough ventilation of course it wouldn't be an issue. I feel I created a few defensive posts as a result of me just explaining the logic behind why metal might condense. I mean in a home it happens on windows too and is not really an issue. Just to clarify.
