We've had big, hard winds all day ... Rains off & on, too.

Hard to say what may have gotten moved about

Looking at the coop, there is no way to seal that gap. Water will run down the metal inside the coop. Are you stuck on a tarp roof? If you put a wood back, cut to fit, you could extend a metal roof past the plywood backing a little to keep out rain. Or even extend a tarp past the wood backing and lace up the back and tack it down.

Maybe there is a better use for that metal.

Or use the metal back as the roof...

Is it long enough?

Is it long enough?

It's 8' long, think it's 6' tall.

I wrapped the hoop coop in a big tarp today. It’s one of the tarps I used to cover the roof when putting on a new roof in July 2023.
I scooped a front end bucket of dirt with the tractor and filled in low places.

I dragged it over the coop, placed cinder blocks on it, tacked it down, tied it with hay string and finally considered it done.
I ran an extension cord over to the coop and hung 3 heat lamps in it.

I put a barometer in it and will check temperature in the morning.

Impressive!
