The author says A-frame construction is simple this is partially true, although you still need strong framing and bracing to support the weight of this structure. The design is an A-frame construction, which has the advantage of providing height for access to the coop. There is no doubt this construction will last a long time and also be resistant to wind.

The author himself discusses the virtues of a steel roof versus something lighter e.g. This design could best be described as 'robust' it will produce a solid, quite heavy coop with strong structural members and a steel roof.

There is no actual plan provided, but there are several photos showing the coop and various components being constructed. This plan has actually been built and is in use, so it meets that criterion.ĭetailed instructions are provided for construction, as well as a complete list of materials. This gives some credibility to what they are telling you. Side note: I like getting stuff - ideas, free chicken coop plans, whatever - from folks that have actually done it. Note: this is very similar to how we raise hundreds of meat birds here at the farm see the In this format, the coop itself would provide shelter only at night a protected yard would be needed for daytime foraging for the birds. It could also be adapted to raise a large number of birds on pasture. Sturdy chicken coop design might be a little heavy to move
