Hoop coop brooder with roll up sides

As many times as I reference this article and as many ideas as I lifted from this, I would be remiss to not review it.

At a basic level, this article provides the basic steps and perfect pictures to guide construction of a hoop coop.

I made use of the cattle panel door and the latch technique. Doors can be one of the tricky parts to get just right on a coop ... and this approach makes it straight forward and simple.

I definitely recommend anybody considering building a hoop coop to spend some time with this article prior to starting their build.
This is great! It includes a rough build materials list and plenty of instructions. I can see why the instructions are more like guidelines and principles due to the nature of the coop.
I really love this hoop coop. So much detail! I especially like that door.
My only change would be to completely cover it with hardware cloth before adding the tarp. I'd be afraid something would chew through the tarp. I'm paranoid like that.
The only thing that this article lacks is precise dimensions for length, width, and center height.

Great build photos with all the necessary details!

An even better concept -- I'm thinking this would be wonderful for raising meaties and easy to partition to separate different ages or for a couple broodies.
Very good hoop coop build!
