INSTRUCTIONS
6: Install the Floor Panel and Nesting Box:
Position the plastic Floor Panel making sure that the pre-installed wooded cleat is
facing inside the house and under the long cleat of the Front Panel (6.1). The pre-installed wooden cleat should be directly facing
the Nesting Box Panel door. Secure the panel to the Floor Bottom Brace using the 1” screws and predrilled holes (6.1). Slide the
Nesting Box Side Wall into position as per 6.2 (no screws are needed and this panel does not have predrilled holes). The Nesting
Box Side Wall cleat is oriented towards the outside of the laying box (6.2) . Secure the Nesting Box Roof to the Nesting Box Side
Wall and Front Panel using the 2” screws and predrilled holes (6.3). The Nesting Box Roof cleat is positioned against the Nesting
Box Side Wall inside the Nesting Box and the side without the cleat attaches over the Front Wall cleat (6.3).
8: Create the Side Wall:
Slide each of the 6 Side
Boards into position making sure to have the boards
properly oriented in order for the boards to fully engage
with the floor support groove and with the next board
(8.1). When all the boards are properly installed the
resulting wall should be of the exact same height than
the other three walls. Expect a tight fit (8.2).
7: Install the Floor Ramp Panel, the Top Floor Support and the Roosting Pole:
Position
the Floor Ramp Panel over the
Floor Supports making sure that the ramp cleats are facing up (inside the house) and the bottom of the ramp is facing the Front
Wall (7.1). Secure using the 1” screws and predrilled holes (7.1). Secure the Top Floor Support over the Floor Ramp Panel using
the 2” screws and predrilled holes (7.2). The Top Floor Support should be installed about 0.25” over the door ramp opening
acting as a stopper for the door ramp (7.2). Make sure to have the pre-installed eye hook facing the door ramp opening by the
Front Wall (7.2)
.
Secure the Roost Pole over the Front and Back Wall cleats using the 1.5”
screws
and predrilled holes (7.3). Make
a knot to attach the Floor Ramp Panel Rope to the Eyehook (7.3).
9: Install The Ramp Rope Latch:
Pull up the end of the rope that is not attached to the Eyehook over the Side Wall towards
the front of the Coop while the ramp is down (9.1). Install the provided rope latch on the Coop Leg. Position the latch according
to your preference for ease of pulling up the ramp and securing the rope to the latch. Secure the Latch to the leg using the
provided screws (9.2).
