ALIGNED FRAME = GOOD!
1. Square up the coop framework first,
before applying
the roof panels. This is the single most-important step you
can take to guarantee the best roof alignment. An aligned
frame will result in a more solid, stable assembly and
nicer finished product.
2.
Position the roof panels in place over the
chicken run
area.
Check alignment. Position the roof panels over the
coop house area. Check alignment.
3. When all panels have been placed in position and
aligned,
then
attach each with the appropriate screws.
REMEMbER:
DO NOT screw the roof panels down until the
coop frame has been squared up and all roof panels have
been laid in position and evenly aligned.
The view of the coop
framework from above
shows good alignment
of all coop and
chicken run panels.
SKEWED FRAME = BAD!

framework from above,
with skewed alignment.
This will result in bad
roof panel placement.
Just slide the frame-
work over to realign.
FIND A LEVEL SURFACE
Build your coop on a flat surface and, with a friend, carry it to the location where
it will be used. Assembling the coop on the flattest surface available will help
you greatly when squaring up panels and aligning the roof panels.
