You've never seen a Chicken Coop like this before! Watch me build it!
What happens here
To ensure proper ventilation and predator protection, chicken wire is stapled along the top section of the coop walls, leaving a 2-foot open strip under the roofline. The coop's roof is then constructed by attaching horizontal joists to the top of the wall frames, followed by laying corrugated metal roofing sheets over the joists. The metal sheets are secured with screws, ensuring a weather-tight and durable roof.
Goal: Provide ventilation and weatherproof the coop with a roof
