Mounting Roof
(1) Roof Unit
(prefabricated)
(4) 2” “L” Brackets
(16) ½” Lathe Screws
(Four per “L” Bracket)
The coop is really coming together, and having the roof in place will help put the finishing touches on. As
the Roof is prefabricated, this process is quite easy to do. Four brackets are installed, and the Roof
Assembly is fastened to the brackets.
If you have placed the Upper Panel Door in place, you should slide it off and put it aside. Having two
sides accessible will make installing the brackets easier.
From the top of the upper Core Square, measure 8” from
edge and align “L” bracket to top edge of the square. The
bracket should be flush.
With the “L” bracket held in place, make two marks for the
pilot holes.
Drill two pilot holes at the marks just made.
Important:
Don’t drill too deep! You don’t want to
drill through the entire thickness of the wood. A hole
about ½” in depth is sufficient. This is a very shallow hole.
Fasten the “L” bracket to the Core Square using two ½”
Lathe screws.
