Warm weather Arizona coup

[greggking]

My first coup.The King ranch chicken house. built next to pole barn The base is RR ties strapped together, with wire in the gravel around the outside. Has 1x 12s around that base for snakes. 4x4 and logs for uprights. 2x4s rafters and 5 rib metal roofing. 2x4 welded wire to keep out coyotes, and chicken wire about 4' up for squirrels.(not up yet in the pics.)

Great setup for hot climates, or even moderate ones! Plenty of fresh air, shade and breeze!
