It took me an afternoon to build - about 4-5 hours in total.

The chickens are happy as I timed it well, we have just had our first rain in nearly 7 months.

I did think about waterproofing the roof but it rains so rarely here (see above) that it's more likely any waterproofing would break down in the sun. Also the chickens do like roosting on top as well. A fresh layer of chicken poo doesn't do anything much good!

You'll see from the photos I did put plastic waterproofing under the roof. On my previous builds I've overlapped the roof timbers so waterproofing under the roof wasn't necessary.
