Building a DIY Chicken Coop - Part 2 (Sheathing, Windows/Doors, other details)
Part 2 of my 'Building a DIY Chicken Coop' series. In this video I will be adding the plywood sheathing, trim, doors/windows, roofing, hardware, paint and moving the coop to its home near the garden! I cover the general aspects of how I made the doors, windows, etc,..... but don't list all of the dimensions in the video itself. But I have listed those details below the links for the tools that I used!
Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions - Joe
And I also want to give a big thank you to the Home Depot Prospective and Ryobi Tools for sponsoring this build!

MATERIALS AND DIMENSIONS:
Plywood for coop:
4 - 4x8 sheets of 3/8 exterior grade plywood
2- 4x8 sheets of 1/2” or thicker OSB for roof deck
1x3’s for door/ window framing and corner trim
8-10 pieces of 1x3” x 8ft boards
Screws/nails used:
1 5/8” decking screws for plywood
16 ga 1.5” and 2.5” finish nails for nailer
1.5” washered roofing screws did roofing/flashing
1 1/4” pocket hole screws for door/window frames
3/4-7/8” screws to fasten from backside of plywood to 3/4” thickness of door and window frames.
Door/window dimensions:
Main door frame
27w x 32"h
Door
21.75w x 26.75"H
Window frame
15.5w x 12.5"h
Barn door

Poop door
44w x 14"h

41 1/8”w x 22.25” deep
Egg box side door

Note: both the egg box lid and front plywood are 3/4” that I had on hand. I recommend a thicker plywood for those parts than the 3/8” used on the rest of the coop end doors.
Interior frames that serve as a weather seal of the end access door and the side egg box door have a lip of approx 1/2” on the bottom and 3/8” on the sides
