It was a damp day, temperature didn't make it to 50° and it was "spitting" rain, so I decided to forego coop work.
After seeing @Baymule's previous hoop coop
...I am thinking of adding a solid material to the roosting end this time instead of a tarp. It's too damp here for OSB, and I am looking at another material that could block wind and wet without breaking the bank. T11 siding looks promising but it's almost as expensive as weather ready plywood
.
But buried in the shed may be a solution...
It looks like a sheet of plywood, about 4'x6', with a 2x4 attached. Its probably one of my dh's incomplete projects. It's behind two lawnmowers and stuff, so I'll dig it out later this week, to see if it might work.
I was thinking of doing something like like the coop above, but leaving the bottom 24" of the coop open to the air (with hardware cloth of course!).
Or possibly using cattle panel on the end.
