Deluxe Coop Construction Specs

Deluxe Coops include the same construction features of the standard coops with the addition of a vented roof system:

  • The deluxe roof has a 10” overhang on all sides
  • Vented soffit on front and back eaves, to allow for air circulation along the interior roof of the coop for superior ventilation.  Roof styles that include a ridge also have a ridge vent.
  • An aesthetically pleasing appearance.
  • (Adds 20% to cost of coop).

Raised Coop Construction Specs

Raised Coops are reach-in coops, not “walk-in”, and are available in either 4′ or 6′ width.  The raised coops are a coop/run combination, with the run extending underneath the raised coop area.

  • The coop/run is built on 4×4 treated skids, and can be pulled from either end.
  • Each coop includes one 18×27 single hung, single pane, screened window; a chicken door opening into the run area (with a ramp), and a reach-in service door (with T handle and lock) on the end of the coop.
  • The run area is a treated 2×4 frame covered with 1/2″ galvanized hardware cloth (much stronger than chicken wire).
  • The run has a walk-in service door, with latch, for access to your chickens.
  • A single steel roof covers the coop and run (29 gauge steel with 40 year paint warranty, 24 colors to choose from).
