Assembly
using the 1.5”
screws
and locate per the pre-
drilled holes (4.1). Make sure that the Floor Center Brace
cleat is under the Long Floor Braces making the Floor
Center Brace flush with the Long Floor Brace (4.2).
Support and keep in position the Floor Center Brace
while securing it (4.1). Repeat for the other side.
3: Attach the Mesh Panels Under the Coop:
Secure the Coop Side Mesh Panels to the front legs using the 1.5” screw sand
predrilled holes (3.1, 3.2). The front legs are the ones connected to the Long Floor Brace with the black plastic strip. Slide the
Coop Back Meshed Panel into position (between the 2 Coop Side Mesh Panels at the back) (3.3) and secure to the back legs
using the 1.5”
screws and pre-drilled holes (3.4). Make sure not to overtighten the screws in order to prevent wood cracking.
5: Install the Front, Back and Nesting Box Panels:
Start by installing the front panel (the panel with a pre-installed long
cleat) (5.1). This panel is installed over the floor support with the black plastic strip and the long cleat is facing the inside of the
house (5.1). Make sure that the panel is oriented having the long cleat on the opposite side of the floor support with the black
plastic strip (5.1). Secure using 2” screws
and predrilled holes (5.2). Install the Back Panel (the panel with a pre-installed short
cleat) on the opposite side of the Front Panel (5.3). The small cleat is also facing the inside the house. Secure using 2” screws
and predrilled holes. Slide the Nesting Box Panel into the gap created between the legs and the Front Panel and the Back Panel
(5.4). Make sure that the cleats are facing the inside of the house and that the nesting box door is next to the Front Panel (5.4).
Note that The Nesting Box Panel is a sliding removable wall and it does not get secured with any screws.
2:Attach the Floor Braces to the Legs:
There are 2 types of legs and it is important that you choose the right ones. Make sure to have one “A” marked leg and one “B”
marked leg on each side of the house (2.2). Have the long side of the legs facing the front and back of the house (2.1). The long
side board creating the L shape leg is 3.5” wide and the short side board is 2.5” wide. The Short Floor Braces attach to the short
side of the legs and the Long Floor Braces (the ones with a pre-drilled hole in the middle) attach to the long side of the legs
(2.2). Secure the four legs to the Floor Braces using the 2.5” bolts, washers and nuts. Make sure that there is a washer on both
sides of the wood and that the nuts are facing the inside the house (2.3). The cleats attached to the Floor Braces have to be
oriented toward the inside of the Coop (2.3).
