Photo of Fortress coop ... in some ways

Here's a photo of the south facing side. The poultry access door is visible. This is the only side with the galvanized metal not quite finished. Cutting the metal is difficult and dangerous as heck. I have had cuts all over my hands as evidence. thick leather gloves are strongly advised when cutting this kind of corrugated galvanized sheet metal. I had to use an electric drill to create holes in the metal for the hex head lag screws. A ratchet with the appropriate bit to fit the hex head made for simple work but a bit time consuming. We aimed for the posts to ensure a stronger grip of the lag screws. Kelly in Moxee
