I'll admit that roofing my coop was a bit of an afterthought. What? I can't just use plywood?
So, I picked up some polycarbonate panels at Lowes. Another admission: I got the wrong kind. This is for my coop (not the run), and I bought transparent panels. Afterwards, I realized I wanted shade in the coop. So, I'm planning on roofing with plywood and screwing the polycarbonate on top to protect it.
I would be grateful for any additional tips. Will the roof leak if I use regular screws through the panels? Do they make special fasteners that I should buy? Will plywood topped with polycarbonate panels keep my coop dry? Will it make it too hot?
