Yes. Imagine my surprise when the coop arrived at my house.
After I installed casters on it after several failed attempts at moving it on the skis we had a few of our elderly neighbors show up to "help out". They soon realized that it would be better if they just watched and we were eventually rescued by two strapping lads in a pick up truck who helped me get it back on its new "feet". We had quite a crowd by the time I got it rolling. Then they are all like....you don't have a rooster? Why not...we love crowing. Well then I had to install a skirt around the bottom because I was NOT going to put it on its side again to install casters every time i have to move it. I can just take the skirt off when I need to. I think maybe your choice of siding may alter its weight but if that guy is moving that coop on its original skis he must be a cyborg or something because I'm bigger than he is and I couldn't budge it.
As far as winterizing welll I was thinking about doing something like what this lady did. Something simple but effective and using sunlight couldn't hurt. Like a greenhouse effect during the day.
well that except on a larger scale.
Our biggest problem is wind, not so much snow and its only cold a few months of the year.
