Tuff Shed advice in GA

[Starrs]

I built screen doors out of one half inch by one inch welded wire. For my walk in doors. I blocked in the back of the door frame. The screen door sets against the blocking. Then is secured in place with four slide bolts.

That’s a good idea. It sounds like it would be easy to secure. Do you think hinges on one side would work? This would be the door I go in and out

The hinges would have to allow the screen door to open the same as the coop door. Or have the hinges on the opposite side. I go in and out the ones I use. I unlatch the screen door. Set it to the side and close the regular coop door. If I don’t want my chickens out yet.

Final result - Tuff Shed was great to work with. There was one issue with a window, not latching correctly and they came out and replaced it immediately.

Your layout looks great. Easy to get to everything.

You'll have to keep an eye on the temperatures up at the roof level come summer -- might need more top-level ventilation if the ridge vent doesn't keep up.

Exactly right! I’m going to watch it closely once it warms up and then cut in venting under the roof overhang and cover it with hardware cloth if needed.
