Shout out to the coop & run builders

[texsuze]

I'm researching how to expand an existing coop/run setup by attaching an 8'x10' roofed run. It's the roof purlins, joists, trusses, whatever all those pieces are that hold the metal onto the structure that have my head swirling. Thanks to all the BYC'ers over all the years who took time to post photos and descriptions of all phases of their construction projects. I'm finding this forum very helpful. A picture is worth a thousand words!

Post a pic of your coop and I'm sure you'll get some creative ideas on how to add to it.

I have a lot of close-up build photos in this thread. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/large-open-air-coop-in-central-nc.1443812/

Neuchickenstein is a post and beam structure, which is a very simple design if you ignore the complexity of the clerestory roof.
