It's actually a kit that includes the hardware to connect the 2x4s. I think he has several others. There are these metal plates where everything bolts together at the intersection and then there's this roof cap thingy. I'll see if he's interested in possibly rehoming one of the kits. He'd have no problem sharing the plans either way. I'll get them scanned and see if they can be emailed otherwise PM me a snail mail and I'll send them on.

OOOH! I would love to have a copy of those plans too!! I'm sure we could figure out the angles and all of the metal plates and contruct our own!!

I'm sure there won't be a problem with sharing the plans. We go back to school tomorrow after the most perfect week off, weatherwise. We have a had nothing but warm sunshine in CT for an entire week! It was incredible. I'll talk to DH over dinner and hopefully get the plans scanned tonight or tomorrow. I haven't looked at the actual construction plans to see if they can be done without the kit but I'll do it anyway. I know there is a piece of sheet metal that is a template for cutting angles. That should help! I'll scan it too.

I'd love a copy of the plans too. I realize your plans are several years old, but I tried googling a variety of phrases, but couldn't find a website. ???

I too would love a copy of those plans. If you want, I would be willing to send you a few bucks for the trouble of copying & sending them along. That plan would actually go along perfectly with our octagonal yard plans. ( our deck & garden sections are all on octagonal angles.) Thanks in advance ~
That's truly a sweet coop idea! I am thinking classy, looks almost gazebo-ish. It would look so nice in the middle of the yard. There are so many different design angles that this plan could take on. Perfect for an urban flock, eh? Thanks for posting it!!

I THOUGHT that looked familiar. I bought the kit for this building 4 or 5 years ago, then forgot all about it. I was going to build a greenhouse. Here is the address you can order it from. Go to the bottom of the page to see it.

I think I'm gonna build a chicken house out of mine, too.

ncgnance ~ THANK YOU!! I looked all over online in vain futility after having seen these plans, and couldn't find ANYthing on them. This is perfect, however ~ Thanks again!!
