Assembly Instructions V1.0 F
Please Read:
Understanding these concepts will help guide you through the instructions.
Ÿ
The coop is assembled in three sections (I)Run Assembly (ii) Roost Assembly, and (iii) Egg Box
Assembly.
Wire side of panels face to the inside of coop.
Ÿ
Mating edges of parts to be flush and tight will keep measurements in tolerance as the coop grows in
size.
Ÿ
Brown screws are 3” and use T-25 bit. Green screws are 1 5/8” and use T-20 bit.
Ÿ
Having a flat surface ~ 10’x10’ is required for the coop to assemble well.
Ÿ
Several steps will require that you work comfortably from a 6’ step ladder. Get help for these steps if
needed.
Ÿ
We estimate 8-12 hours for two people of ordinary skills to assemble.
Ÿ
You will need a cordless drill, hammer and a tape measure. All else is provided.
Ÿ
Drive screws only deep enough to hold parts tight and not bury the heads too deeply.
Ÿ
Many pre-drilled screws holes are driven upside-down so as not to be a place to collect water, look for
pre-drilled holes under parts too.
Ÿ
There are some screw holes that must be field drilled. The brown and green screws are very agressive
and will drive with no pre-drilled hole. Keep screw entry points in the meat of the wood and not too close
to edges. Screws in knots or close to edges should be pre-drilled. A countersink bit is enclosed in case
you run into this situation.
Ÿ
Rough Cedar may have knots or cracks that are normal for this wood. We cull and cut around any
imperfections we deem structurally problematic during manufacturing. If you get a piece that you feel is
not acceptable, please let us know. We build to ~1/8” tolerance. Cedar expands and contracts
considerably and some gaps between boards is to be expected. In any event, they should not be greater
than 1/8”.
Spending the time up front to identify all the parts and lay them all out will pay off in
the long run and make assembly go more smoothly. The instructions are intended to
be read in page order as, the information builds in that way, then referenced during
assembly. Pre-reading the instructions will help immensely.
