I looked and read at all the designs. We then did inventory on what we had/could do. I started with the Home Depot design one but made it bigger (6x4). I can't post links yet. The Home Depot design can be found on the Garden Club page - build a chicken coop part 1.

In addition to making it bigger, I think I am putting hardware cloth on the sides. Because we have more heat issues here than cold, I think that would work nicely for the girls.

I have seen some of you post pics of installing the cloth. Do you use a screw and washer for it?

My son wants it red! Hopefully more pics to come.

Since I am too new to add pic to the body of my post, I will just put it as my profile picture.
 
I used the screw and washer method for my hardware cloth. It kept the wire tighter and stableized better than just staples.
