[QUOTE="Shadrach, post: 25958927, member: 521413"] I've got a window in the back in place. It should be water tight. I've cut circular mesh to go behind the round adjustabel vents. The mesh will be betwwen the dial and the coop. I'm partway through cutting the top vent slots just below the roof. They'll be twice that size when finished. [ATTACH type="full"]3187582[/ATTACH] I've put a louvered vent on the front. The front will face the wind when it swings to the South. Mostly the wind is Westerly. [ATTACH type="full"]3187583[/ATTACH] I still want to paint the inside.:rolleyes::lol: [ATTACH type="full"]3187584[/ATTACH] I need to pull the roof tighter to back on this side. The back wall edge has been badly cut. Rivits and a couple of brackets would be handy. [ATTACH type="full"]3187585[/ATTACH] The 3mm diameter rod mesh ( Cattle panel on a roll )is on it's way. 12.5 metres long. 90cm tall, 75mm x 75mm holes, £80.00:th I've had another read of Molpets hooped coop trying to make sure I'm not going wrong. The mesh should be stiff enough to just bend and hold it's shape once bent. I'm still undecided about which quarter inch hole mesh to get. There are few that come on a roll to choose from. Stainless steel would be nice but it's very expensive. It's how good the galvenising is on the mesh that's concerning me. I need at least 15metres of 90cm tall. There's a bit of messing about to do where the run joins the coop. [/QUOTE]
