i am loooking at building a new house for all my girls { 24 in total } as i dont think  the 6'4 shed an nesting shed is big enough although they all seem ok with it .

how tall does the house really have to be as i am getting another 8'6 shed shortly an i was thinking of breaking it down in height and making one long house thats say about 4 foot high an 3 or 4 metres long .i cant keep  the 8 '6 shed whole as the council say we are only alowed 6'4 sheds but today when  we spoke to them they have now said the sheds must only b 4'4  :?  :? confusing or what.

is this hieght suitable i do have the perfect looknig house that i want to build in my mind but that could change

The only thing I think to worry about with a lower height henhouse, is make sure you can get to all the areas for cleaning and de-miting etc.  I always tell Brian that our houses don't have to be 6ft high, but he likes to make it easy for us to get inside when needed.

But on the plus side, a lower house will be more wind resistant!

the height of the shed will be a plus if its only about 4 or 5 foot high as we are in a wind tunnel considering were surrounding by buildings an trees on al sides.
when we had the last lot of bad wind the other week it did shake the sheds  quite  badly as a piece of wood that was totally wedged between the gaps of the 2 sheds came down an they all got out that night .

i wish i could use the 8'6 shed as a whole but the site has a shed size restriciton  :cry:
