Can you build a coop or shed inside a fenced yard?
Yes. We build about 80% of each coop and shed in our shop and carry the sections through a standard gate, then assemble it where it will stand, so fences and tight side yards are not a problem.
We don't need truck access to the exact spot, and there is no finished structure to roll across the lawn. A fully pre-built shed delivered on a truck usually can't get into a fenced backyard at all.
