## Walk-In A-Frame Chicken Coop with Covered Run Specifications

### Coop

The 10' x 10' walk-in coop has 89 sq ft inside, 10' 8" to the peak and 7' 0-1/4" under the collar ties. Two roost bars give 181" of perch over a dropping board, and a plank door opens at the front.

### Covered Run

The 16' x 10' run gives 147 sq ft of roofed ground for 15-20 hens. It is wrapped in 1/2" hardware cloth with a buried apron, and a walk-in run door sits at the far end. A sliding pop door with a ramp connects the coop to the run.

### Roof and Ventilation

The 60-degree A-frame trusses use 2x8 rafters, plywood gussets and 2x6 collar ties at 24" on center, covered with plywood, synthetic underlayment and architectural asphalt shingles. Screened eaves and a screened opening above the partition keep air moving all year.
