My shed/coop door is facing North but the wind blows right inside...was wanting something temporary

[hayley3]

like plywood, that I could hang in the winter and remove in better weather.
I have two 4x4's on the inside of the door, that I can use to hang something there to hold the plywood but I'm stuck on what hardware to use. I still have to go in and out, but I could also just duck under it. I would like something that I can lift the plywood off, but leave the hardware there for next year, if that's even possible.
I can't use those door curtains because the wind is pretty strong there.
Any ideas appreciated!

Can you get a picture of what you're describing?

A picture of your coop....sorry.
You could build a wind break wall, you usually see them on dog houses.
Does the wind only blow in when the door is open? Do they have a pop door?

It's just a metal shed...there's a door on the outside of that picture that closes. I have a huge Toulouse goose so I can't have a chicken door.
I really couldn't find a wind wall break..Did find a fence wall break..but I can't build a fence. If you have a link..that would be great!

How about putting 3 hinges on one of the 4x4s, then cutting a piece of plywood to fit. On the side of the plywood facing the hinges on the 4x4, you'd have to attach a 2x2, 2x4, or similar to hold the hinges.

If you have a Habitat for Humanity nearby, you might find an old door that would fit, and that's where I'd get the hinges.

To remove it, you'd just pull the pins.

Since it has 4x4 bracing, I would make a 3/4 door with plywood that's about 20" off the ground
