I picked up a partial roll of coated (welded?) wire fencing at Habitat for Humanity. I used some for the door to my hoop coop.

Yes and you also used hardware cloth, reinforcing the welded wire. Nice looking hoop coop! I am currently using 2 hoop shelters covered by tarps, for my sheep!

Thank you.

The entire structure is covered with hardware cloth, including an 18"-24" apron. We have every predator here except bears, wolves, and bobcats.

The tarps don't last long in zone 8a, so I put woven shade cloth over the tarps. It's keeping the back area dry, even in tropical storm conditions.

I’ve built those for chickens, put tin on top to keep it dry. It takes 2 people. Use 1x4s for slats on inside and screw the tin on outside. When finished, cut off screws on the inside so you don’t snag yourself.

Nice set up!
