This coop isn’t just cute – it’s built tough. I live where we get rain, wind, and even a bit of snow, so durability is a must. The manufacturers clearly thought of that. First, the fir wood panels themselves are top quality. Unlike some cheap plywood or MDF, fir is a hard, structural wood. As noted by outdoor furniture experts, fir’s natural moisture resistance means it won’t warp or rot easily. That gave me confidence it wouldn’t fall apart after one winter.
 

Then there’s the roof and finish: the green asphalt roof is like a tiny barn roof – it channels rainwater away instead of letting it seep inside. According to the product specs, “the asphalt roof and the paint on the fir wood walls protect against rainwater to outlast weather patterns”. In practice, I’ve seen it shrug off downpours and keep the interior dry as a bone. The paint and roofing also reflect some sunlight, helping keep the coop cooler in summer. Basically, it’s a real all-weather structure – rain, sun or snow, this coop stands up to it.
 

Because of this weatherproof design, the coop ages gracefully. I remember my last coop leaked right after the first big storm, but this one still looks snug months later. Neighbors have even commented on how solid it is (“Is it pressure-treated?” “Nope, just good old fir!” I brag). Knowing my flock has a waterproof, sturdy home means I worry less about replacements or repairs. It’s peace of mind built right in.
