Raising Chicken Coop Roof
Not weird at all — I actually helped my neighbour with a similar setup for his greenhouse vents. For outdoor use like your chicken coop roof, I’d definitely recommend checking out linear actuator 12v https://progressiveautomations.com.au/collections/linear-actuators . They have actuators with IP-rated protection, which means they’re sealed against dust and moisture — perfect for something exposed to the elements.
