plans similar to Carolina Coop

[mphansen64]

Hello everyone, I'm looking for detailed build plans for a coop and run similar to a Carolina Coop (https://carolinacoops.com/shop/carolina-coop/#.Xq7dnc17nIU). I'm handy enough that I am sure I can build (if I have plans), but they don't sell plans; only the $5K + unassembled coops.
thanks in advance
Mike

If you want step by step plans, you might want to buy them... something similar?--

I'm building a coop like the American Coop from Carolina Coops. I mapped most of it out on sketchup if you're familiar with that program I can share the file. It's assembled as ~6x6 panels primarily with a ton of pocket screws. It's a spendy build, even as a diy, just so you know. It'll be somewhere over 1000-1500 for just the supplies, I've lost track. More if you do the the Carolina version.

In the process of building one now. It is a 8x16. Cost will be around $1,200. Has taken a few weeks to complete. Sorry I can’t help with plans, I did most of the work from my head and figuring it out along the way.

Crowbar could I get a copy of that sketchup file? We're moving soon and I want to build as much of a coop as possible so I can put it together on site.

Thank you
Robert

They didn't say when it would be ready, but in Carolina Coops podcast yesterday they did say they are planning on selling their plans.

Oh man that would have been helpful!

I emailed them, they said:

HI Robert, Thank you for your interest in Carolina Coops! I'm sorry, we do not offer DIY plans for our coops. We have realized that it's a "near expert" level project when starting from scratch to do it exactly the way that we do. Sourcing the same materials is a challenge for the general public as well. For the expert builders out there, they can just typically study our photos and videos and create their own without step by step instructions. Please feel free to call with any questions or if we can help in any other way.

I was poking around and found a place that will sell plans on something that looks like the 6'x12' American Coop from Carolina Coops for $95.
