17” Fixed Screen Units
For Lower Level
(2) 17" high Lower Fixed
Screen Frames
(2) 12” x 30” pieces of
Hardware Cloth (Screen)
Staples
Two Fixed Screens will be built in this section. A Fixed Screen is a frame (already assembled) which has a
piece of hardware cloth (strong mesh) stapled to it. These units will later be fastened to the lower level
of the coop, making up two of the sides.
Take one of the 17” frames and lay it on a work bench
with the stapled corners facing up.
Take a 12” x 30” piece of Hardware Cloth and center the
screen within the opening of the frame. There should be
1” of overlap on the top and bottom and 2” overlap on
each side.
Note:
Be careful of sharp edges.
Staple the screen to the frame. Start with a staple in the
center top and another at the center bottom.
