Post Pictures of Your Hoop Coops!

[TwinsLoveChicks]

Just very high roosts for guineas.

I know you meant a floor, why I said 'kinda'.
Don't think I've ever seen a hoop with a floor off the ground, don't see why you couldn't tho.

Oops...
That's what I'm thinking of. I'll be picking up the starter supplies soon, thanks for all the help!

Last pic was before I cutout and installed the door.

Thanks for posting! Was it hard to do the metal roof? How did you do it?

It's actually vinyl siding. I didn't do a starter strip but should have. Start at the bottom and work your way up to the peak, let the last piece overlap the other side. I didn't know how to attach the last piece, ended up drilling a hole through the vinyl to tie it down which worked okay. I used zip ties and thin gauge wire to tie it to my cattle panel and 2x4 wire.

Good ideas, i was thinking of finding the guineas a spot that is more removed from the house. That would be easy to build if you can get the panels home in one piece. I usually cut them so they fit in my truck.

Fold them in half like a teardrop then strap them together and then down to your truck. Mine fit fine in a F150 anything smaller like a ranger or S10 would be a challenge.

I have an 8 foot bed Sierra pick up, so it should work. Thanks!

@TwinsLoveChicks what is your location?
Climate can make a big difference in how you support the panels.

I'm in Central TX, so the climate where I am gets to 100+ in the summer and below freezing in the winter. It very rarely snows here, and we almost never get temps below the 20s.
