Henhouses in Sausalito.
Sausalito climbs straight up from the bay, so the chicken-keeping challenge here is geometry, not paperwork. Terraced gardens, retaining walls and narrow flat shelves are the canvas. We design compact henhouses that sit cleanly on a step of a hillside lot and still keep the flock safe and dry.
Local knowledge
Built for Sausalito backyards.
Sausalito's defining feature is slope. Most lots are terraced, so we find or build a level shelf, anchor the henhouse against the grade and make sure winter runoff sheds away down the hill rather than pooling against it. Compact footprints win here. Raccoons are the urban predator to plan for, comfortable working decks, walls and tight spaces at night.
The predators worth planning for here are Raccoons, Hawks, Skunks, Coyotes. Every install is predator-proofed to the same standard, so the flock is safe from day one.
