Queen of Coops

The system is built on the wildly popular "hoop coop" frame. A simple, durable base constructed from:

• Four pressure-treated 2×6×16s
• Additional 2x12x10 treated lumber or cedar can be added for integrated grow beds
• Three 50" x 16' cattle panels
  

This creates a strong, low-cost foundation using readily available materials from your lumber yard and farm supply store—keeping shipping efficient while giving you full control over your build.

Included in the Queen of Coops Kit are the:

• Cedar Front Panels ~ Crafted from untreated aromatic Western red cedar for natural durability and longevity
• Includes integrated housing for the ventilation fan
• Gothic Arch Header ~ joins the two front panels and contains a housing for the fan
• The Heavy-Duty Door completes the front panel. We've built ours with 10 gage 1"×1" welded wire for strength and secured it with a spring-bolt latch.
• For Back Panels we've chosen lightweight and durable polycarbonate panels. These include upper ventilation slots and a lower waste exit slit, provide shelter from the elements at night and additional light by day.
• Integrated Waste Flow ~ The rear opening aligns with the compo-roost system, allowing waste to exit directly into the exterior compost bin.

👉 Panels arrive pre-cut and built in sections, making field assembly straightforward and fast.

This is the airflow engine of the coop.

• First, the gusset tarp with two screened vent holes is installed with zip-ties on the cattle panel arch
• Then, corrugated HDPE panels are attached to the sides and overlap the end panels to shelter the front door and rear compost bin
• Together, these two layers create an air-gap which reduces the temperature differential between outside and inside air
• Integrated fan (included) mounts directly into the front panel housing
  

The Supernova Roof System® air-gap acts as a buffer between the inside and outside air. It also provides a way to:

• keep air moving
• remove moisture
• prevent damp, stagnant conditions
  

👉 The result: a coop that stays dry, fresh, and naturally clean.

Installation under the roost, the Tilt 'N Slide® compo-roost:

• Automatically eliminates the mess and keeps the coop clean.
• Mounts easily beneath roost bars
• Secures with zip ties and simple fasteners
  

Nightly waste:
→ slides downward
→ exits through the rear panel
→ drops directly into the compost bin

👉 No scraping. No buildup. No daily cleaning.

Our rear compost bin automatically turns nightly waste into a resource.

• Perforated HDPE panels allow air to flow
• The end panel can be easily detached for seasonal composst harvesting
• Overehead protection from rain & snow keeps the bin from becoming septic
  

Designed as a no-turn compost system:

• Add “browns” (deep litter, yard waste, kitchen scraps)
  
• Toss material onto the slide 1–2× per week
  
• Let microbes and worms do the work
  

👉 Produces rich, usable compost ready for harvest 1–2× per year.

One of the most versatile features of the Queen of Hoop Coops system is that the same kit can be configured with or without integrated raised garden beds. Whether your priority is maximizing chicken space today or creating a complete backyard food production system tomorrow, the choice is yours.

When equipped with grow beds, the system provides approximately 45 square feet of raised gardening space integrated directly alongside the coop. This creates an efficient, all-in-one homestead where your chickens, compost, and garden work together.

The one-piece weather tarp covering the coop includes integrated clear PVC panels along the lower edges. These transparent sections can be rolled up or down independently, allowing you to quickly adapt to changing weather and growing conditions. Lower them to capture warmth during cool spring and fall days, then roll them up for ventilation as temperatures rise.

This simple feature transforms the grow beds into protected cold frames, allowing you to start vegetables weeks earlier in the spring and continue harvesting well into the fall. In many climates, hardy greens can be grown throughout much of the winter, providing fresh produce for your family and nutritious forage for your flock.

It's a flexible system designed to grow with your needs, whether you're raising chickens, growing vegetables, or doing both at the same time.

• Rollaway Nest Box (with liner) - keeps eggs clean and protected from breaking
• Gravity Feeder & Watering Towers for low-maintenance feeding and watering
• Human Swing for a clean, fun place for you to sit and enjoy your flock
