7 ft Tall Barn Chicken Coop Roof Plans

This step by step diy project is about 7 ft tall barn chicken coop roof plans. This is PART 2 of the chicken coop project, where I show you how to build the roof and how to attach the exterior siding sheets to the chicken coop. Take a look over the rest of my woodworking plans, if you want to get more building inspiration.

When buying the lumber, you should select the planks with great care, making sure they are straight and without any visible flaws (cracks, knots, twists, decay). Investing in cedar or other weather resistant lumber is a good idea, as it will pay off on the long run. Use a spirit level to plumb and align the components, before inserting the galvanized screws, otherwise the project won’t have a symmetrical look. If you have all the materials and tools required for the project, you could get the job done in about a day. See all my Premium Plans HERE.

How to build a 7′ barn chicken coop plans

Front wall sheets

The first step of the project is to attach the 5/8″ siding sheets to the front of the chicken coop. As you can easily notice in the diagram, you need to make a few cuts, so you can attach the panel around the door opening. Use 6d nails to secure the sheet into place, every 8″ along the framing.

Back-wall-siding

Fit the siding sheet to the back of the shed. Use a circular saw to make cuts to the sheet, so you can finally fit it around the small door and window openings. Use 2″ nails to secure the sheet to the framing.

Side sheets

Cut the sheets for the side of the barn chicken coop. Align the edges with attention and insert 6d nails, every 8″ along the framing.

Opposite side wall sheets

Fit the T1-11 siding sheets to the other side of the chicken coop. Align the edges with attention and leave no gaps between them. Insert 6d nails, every 8″.

Fitting-the-roof-sheets

Fit 3/4″ plywood sheets to the top of the chicken coop, as shown in the diagram. You need to align the edges with attention and then insert 1 5/8″ screws, every 8″ along the rafters.

Roof trims

Use 1×6 lumber for the rood trims. Make the 22.5 degree cuts with a miter saw and then attach the trims into place with 2″ nails. Make sure you leave no gaps between the trims.

Fitting the roofing

Cover the roof with tar paper and then install the asphalt shingles. Make sure you also install the appropriate drip edges, so you can seal the shed roof. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for a tight fit.
