Roost Roof & Roost Placement
8
Before lifting roost onto run, place B8 roost roof panels to where the grooves overlap with pre-drilled holes
on B4 center roof support and overhang equally. Install two E3 roof screws into the outer two edge holes. Rack the
front side of the roost to where the bottom edge of the roof panel is equal on either side with B7 eave board and screw
in the center screw. Repeat procedure for back side of the roost. This squares up the roof onto the roost box. Install the
remaining five E3 roof screws, tightening only enough to compress the rubber washer but not so tight as to deform roof
metal.
After attaching roof, place roost
assembly onto run in position
indicated, lining up roost frame
with edges of top panels.
Fasten two E1
brown screws
into bottom
door frame, as
indicated, to
hold roost to
bottom.
Install roost
door hardware,
not forgetting
to remove the
nail in door
frame that
holds it in place
during shipping.

Egg Box Assembly
Ramp Door

Attach C3 egg box door to C1 and C2 egg box sides
using four E1 brown screws from door into sides in pre-
drilled holes. Make sure top is flush. You will install this
assembly later.
Using six E2 green screws, attach hinges of the A10
ramp door to inside edge of opening in A4 ramp panel.
Note:
If you want to use the door to lock your hens in the
roost, put a rope in the hole at the end of the ramp and
secure up by some means you’re comfortable with. We
do not accomodate a particular method as few people
use this feature since they feel the cage is already so
strong.
