Old Playhouse to Hen House :)

I don't understand why you left a gap in the roof if you have windows? Would the windows not provide adequate ventilation? They are not a glass/plastic window, just open, correct?

I left the gap in case I needed to close up the windows. I haven't closed the two windows I left open, but if it rains the right direction everything gets wet in there from the open windows.

Oh. Lol I live in the desert so “rain” to me is probably a sprinkle to most. I would use a jigsaw to cut a hole in the roof and then put a covered vent on it, with the flashing facing down. That way you can close your windows if you need to.

The Windows aren't made to close. I have to rig something up. The vent is done - I left the roof up and screwed it down. Then, placed hardware cloth to cover any areas where something might slip in.
It is currently 25 degrees and feels like 16. I won't be working on anything at the moment.
I actually don't recommend playhouse structures now that I have one.

Thanks for the advice, I posted my question in May. Everything I need is done except for totally closing off one window. The more you cut into plastic, the more you are going to degrade the structure. So, I opted not to use a vent such as you posted.
If this is what you are choosing to do, good luck, but I'm already thinking of a new structure for my ducks come this spring.

No I built mine. My kids have a playhouse that I wanted to turn into a coop later but its wood. I apologize I didn't even look at the time of the post.
