Wired corn crib

[bosoxbratt]

Hi there. We are thinking of turning our wired corn crib into a chicken coop but not sure how to keep the rain etc out? Any ideas? If you have pics that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

How you proceed will depend on where you live. Climate will determine what is needed as far as shelter.

Is this a round or square crib?

It's a round crib and we live in northern Indiana

Assuming it's in full sun? Most cribs are.

Metal roofing run vertical would easily form to the round shape. But might be rather hot in summer.
Board n batten would also work. Would also be a little easier to frame in windows and doors.

Got pics?
How big is it?
Is roof intact?

Have seen many mention it but do not recall anyone who actually followed thru.
