Solid-roof runs attached to coops...can I see?

[Bittner4254]

Hi everyone! Found someone to help me build my Coopa-A-Cabana next spring for much more reasonable than ordering through shed builders. Anyways... looking for those that had solid-roof runs that are attached to their coops.

Coop design plan is 10x16’ split into 2 parts: coop and garden shed. The attached run I’m looking at making 10x20’ish and having it be directly attached to the coop itself (without a tunnel).

Can anyone show me their setup that’s like this? Looking at doing a metal roof that matches the coop. Not sure if I want it to be same height or different. Looking for examples. Thanks!

Have you looked at the chicken coop articles yet? Lots to see there

Here's mine I built last year. It has a steel roof and is sorta multi-level if that's what you were asking about: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/perkolators-modern-chicken-estate-2019.75345/gallery

Thanks. Old coop looked like crap and was smack in the middle of the yard - so new coop had to be aesthetically pleasing

Here is my coop and run. It’s not covered but I could have opted to turn the gable the opposite direction and run the roof over the run if I wanted. I would have had to raise the walls up a bit in the run, but a covered run would have looked good to. Also would have had a lot more to shingle. Still it might not have been the worst idea to cover the whole thing.

When mine was under construction.

I attached mine to an existing shed and made a continuous roof over the whole thing. Hen house is 14'6"x 6'6" and the run section is 14'6"x16'. The chickens have access under the hen house also. Half the hen house is divided into a storage area so the chicken part is actually 8'x6'6". Because of the slope of my land the run roof wound up being over 14' tall. LOL This pic is not 100% finished since I still need to paint the inner roof area and a couple doors.
