Metal Tin Coops?

[StevenW.]

Well last month we tore down my grandmas old shed and the tin that we took off was still good and with the love of hatching (

)
I thought I could make a coop since it seems like I keep running out of space. I think theres about maybe 30-40 Sheets?
Anyone have any pictures or designs?

I use one of those tin metal sheds from Lowe's as my coop... It works really great, except it is a lil warm out there right now. The girls won't go in it during the day because of the heat (though they will dive in real quick to lay), preferring to rest in the shade under the rabbit pens. I use a water hose to spray the building down to cool it down though.

Here it is once it was finished, the doors only close in the winter...

Tin can be great for roofing

Wouldn't a shed get really hot in summer?

Light colored tin such as galvalum, white, tan and such are cooler during the summer months than asphalt shingles.

Thank You!

Tin is the way to go. Great for siding and blocking wind also!
