Trying my best to recreate this coop. Need advice please!

[Justso]

....
I think I estimated the wall heights correctly. But what worries me is the gambrel. His gambrel looks perfect. I dont wanna make mine and have it look awkward haha.

Looking at the 1x2 trim I eyeball it at 12" wide. I agree make it bigger, 4 won't be enough. Chickens are like candy.

Thanks for the advice.

Ill be heading to home depot to pick up the rest of the materials

Now to think of an aesthetically pleasing run. I want it attached the coop on side. Instead of 2 windows on a side itll be a pop door and a window.
I would like it 8x10 with the 8' side along the coop. And at least 6' tall so I can enter it.

I have:
27 PT 2"x4"x8'
8 PT 2"x4"x10'

I also can't bury 4x4 post and would prefer to not purchase any more lumber if possible.

Let me hear your ideas!

8 PT 2"x4"x8'

One of these should be different dimensions?

Sorry.
8 PT 2"x4"x10'

Just make a box.
Very quick and rough.
Red are 10'.
Black are 8'.
Green, I chose 2'.... but up to you.
Angled pieces to be determined.
Or could go with flat roof.

Make bottom frame pieces 'on edge'.
Attach vertical studs(which could be cut down to 6') at a spacing to match your mesh for attachment ease.

And there is sufficient lumber on hand to complete the run,

More than enough....but not sure what OP's idea of 'aesthetically pleasing' is.
If it functions, it's pleasing to me
