Our new coop with a DECK!!!

The thing I love most about this is it's really easy to clean, it's very well ventilated, and it stays bone dry in the run and the coop because of the real roof. The ridge vent in the roof keep it very fresh and cooler than it would otherwise be.
 
Also, I'm fairly certain it's predator proof (so far) since the bottom is completely enclosed below the wood base. We live in the woods, and I know we have raccoons and such, I see them all the time, even before we even thought about chickens!
 
Super nice design!

My 62 yr old mother should have been a contractor and has as much energy as one of my kids. She knows more about building and tools than any man I have ever met. AND when we start a project, it actually gets finished in a timely manner....

Good thinking. That is what I did and it worked great. My girls and roo could jump over our 3 foot fence and get eaten by my dog but the never have. They are content to roam around on their side of the fence and not venture off. They stay within a safe distance from their coop,(food and water). At eventide they return and get situated for the night in their coop.
Your coop and run are FANTASTIC!! CONGRATULATIONS!!
 
Nice setup. Some chairs on that deck will work great to enjoy your favorite beverage this fall. Maybe plant a tiki torch or two. You could make that deck a very social area.
