Seeking your advice on new coop & run project.

In the very near future (month of Oct.) we're going to start building a new coop with attached run area. I've been looking over all the coop designs at BYC and still cannot come up with exactly how I want it to look. The coop / run will be attached to this 12' x 18' foot metal storage building. I do want to continue with the color pattern no matter what the choice. With the building already having the barn style roof wouldn't it make since to go with a 'lean-to' style coop and run? Whatever the outcome of this coop / run project it will be home to 6 French black copper Marans pullets and one Marans cockerel. There is a small creek which runs behind this building. So, any advice you can lend me will be greatly appreciated and taken into consideration in building this.

 

Now that sounds like a less expensive way to go which I am always looking for! Hope you decide to post some images. I'd be interested in seeing what you designed. Due to the length of my building being 18 foot I think the coop and run combined will also be 18 feet in length and probably eight foot wide. By going this route later I I can build a twin of it on the left side of the building as well. If so then the left side would be home to my cochins, sizzles and frizzles.

 

Hey now that looks like a great option I might be thinking about! Thanks for the help!
