Salt box style or amish style coop

[jedgeworth]

I have had several people message for advice on building a coop like mine and first off let me say thank you for all the compliments. Here are the plans i drew up.
Some of the mesurements may be a little different than what i have wrote to make the materials work out out better. Such as the walls are 4' and 5' but thery are actually 4"s shorter so my siding will cover all the way to the bottom of the floor. If any questions feel free to ask.

Started the siding today. Hope to finish it and the roof this weekend.

Looking good so far!

Coop is done except for trim. Starting on the run now.

Awesome! Are you going to add hardware cloth to the windows? Can we see the inside?

 

[jedgeworth]

Here are the pictures of the inside. I plan on putting chicken wire over the windows.

That looks nice and roomy. Are you sure you want to use chicken wire? It is useless in keeping predators out. Hardware cloth is better.

That is quite an awesome job. Did you use corrugated steel for the roof? How long did it take you to build?

 

[jedgeworth]

Hard to say exactly how long it has taken because I just work on it when I have time. I've been working on it about 3 weeks now but it could be built in a week if you had about 4 hours a day to work on it. The roof is just regular metal you would put on a house I had a friend that had this leftover he gave me.

Finished my run this weekend and bought some chickens.
