With an 8x8 enclosed coop area, an attached 8x10 covered run, 8 nesting boxes, and full LP SmartSide construction, the A818CRG delivers the kind of all-in-one housing solution that removes the guesswork of trying to pair a separate coop and run together yourself.

What the Reverse Gable Combination Design Gets Right

Many backyard chicken setups treat the coop and the run as two separate purchases solved separately — a coop bought here, a run built or bought there, and the two never quite fitting together the way they should. The A818CRG solves both problems in one complete structure.

The reverse gable roofline transitions cleanly from the enclosed 8x8 coop into the attached 8x10 covered run, creating a unified 8x18 footprint that functions as a complete housing system from day one. The run is not an add-on or an afterthought. It is built as part of the same structure, with matching framing quality and matching materials throughout. If you want to understand why integrated construction usually outperforms retrofitted setups over time, our guide on why some chicken coops fail early and what durable designs do differently explains the most important differences.

A Large Walk-In Coop Area Plus a Covered Run

The enclosed 8x8 coop section provides meaningful interior space for roosting, laying, and shelter, with enough room to house up to 24 standard-sized chickens using the recommended 4 square feet of interior space per bird. Roost bars along the back wall support natural elevated roosting behavior, while 8 nesting boxes provide quiet, organized laying space that helps reduce competition and keeps egg collection efficient.

At 111 inches tall, the reverse gable roofline gives you full walk-in headroom throughout the coop section, which makes daily management, cleaning, and flock checks dramatically easier. The attached 8x10 covered run expands the usable footprint even further, giving your birds protected outdoor space while helping reduce exposure to weather and aerial predators.

LP SmartSide Construction Built for Long-Term Use

The A818CRG is constructed with LP SmartSide siding chosen for its resistance to moisture, insects, and warping through years of outdoor exposure. The 5/8 inch LP engineered flooring in the coop section is built to handle deep bedding, repeated cleaning, and daily foot traffic without softening or sagging after only a few seasons.

Beneath the charcoal architectural shingles, TechShield radiant barrier roof sheathing helps reflect radiant heat in summer and moderate interior conditions year-round. For owners who want a sealed, easier-to-clean surface in the coop area, an optional epoxy-coated floor upgrade is available. These are the same material and construction standards we cover in our luxury chicken coops built to last guide.

Natural Light, Ventilation, and Better Daily Conditions

The A818CRG includes three 24x27 inch black windows that bring natural daylight and cross-ventilation into the enclosed coop section. Proper airflow is essential in any coop of this size. It helps reduce moisture buildup, limit ammonia accumulation, and support better flock health across all seasons.

A dedicated roof vent provides passive exhaust above the roost line where warm, moist air naturally gathers. The result is a drier, better-lit interior that supports both structural longevity and healthier day-to-day conditions for your birds.

Predator Resistance Designed Into the Structure

Predator resistance is not treated as a secondary feature here. The enclosed coop uses solid LP SmartSide siding with no exposed weak points, the elevated floor system helps limit access from below, and the covered run uses welded wire rather than lightweight chicken wire. Secure door hardware on both the coop and run access points helps close off the most common vulnerability points that predators exploit.

For a more complete overview of how to strengthen your setup even further, our predator-proofing guide covers perimeter reinforcement, hardware choices, and placement best practices.

Roofing Options for Different Climates

The A818CRG ships standard with charcoal architectural shingles that provide reliable weather protection and a clean finished appearance across the full structure. For owners in heavy snow regions, high-wind environments, or those simply wanting the lowest possible maintenance profile, a metal roof upgrade is also available.
