Need coop plans

Will take pictures this weekend. Haven’t quite finished that part. I went with an A frame roof with metal on the roof. The metal has shearing and tar paper under it. I left a crack under the ridge cap and under the eaves. The walls are 8 ft so with the high walls and ceiling peak it will draw enough through the pop door and eaves to push the heat out the top. I plan to put a hardware cloth soffit to keep birds out.

Actually that's called a gable roof.

Nice eaves, too bad the birdsmouths made the gaps smaller....but think about covering with HC like this:

Did you use fender washers for the cloth?

You found that exact size at HD?
I kinda doubt that, I shopped pretty hard and couldn't find them at any hardware or big box store...they are not fender washers, much smaller OD.
