I know a few people who just put a truck cap on a sheet of plywood and add nesting boxes and roosts and thats there coop. Its not pretty but it works.

Even bedliners do the trick but you will have to make a frame work under it because it will sag over time.

You only need one topper and maybe 8 bails of straw. Use the straw like leggo blocks in the same size as the topper, put 2x4's down accross for temporary perch, then set milk crates where the big opening window is going to be right on the ground, and set the topper on. It will work easily for a temporary solution. Good luck with getting the girls to go in on their own though. At first they will be really confused.

My birds have a couple truck toppers they use all year round for dust bathing or hanging out in when it is raining.

Thanks for thw pictures!

I've been thinking truck caps would be an excellent coop roof. I've found 2 sources for FREE oak pallets. Now I need a truck, to gather up my supplies.
