Assembly Instructions V1.0 H

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.

Please Be CarefulŒ Some of the next steps will need to be performed from a six foot or taller step ladder. If you are not comfortable and experienced standing on and working from a ladder you may want to get some help for these steps. Please be careful.

� Any roof metal can have sharp edges. We attempt to knock of sharp corners and edges from roof metal. You must be the final determiner of sharp edges. A standard metal file from your hardware store, or metal snips, can be used to make edges to your standards. You may choose to wear a pair of work gloves while handling roof metal.

=ŒObserve drawing and make sure that what you have done so far matches up to

illustration, 58” wide and 99 1/2” long, off no more than 1/4”.

�Next, using a measuring tape, measure the diagonals of the lower run until each corner-to-corner measurement is equal. Hold tape level each time and pull taught. Rack as needed to make 90° corners which will happen when corner to corner is equal.

ŽUsing provided level, check all sides placing the level in different spots and level the coop in all directions vertical and horizontal and make sure that it is not rocking. Some settling will occur and it is okay, but this is the time to get it the best you can.

�Referencing the footprint at the front of these instructions, position the coop on your site area where you want it as this portion won’t be moved again. Recommended North is based on the Roost being Protected from wind.

�Finally, see note � in illustration and make sure mid section long walls and front wall is straight by moving back and forth until wall is straight along string, just touching it.

‘Make sure the A2 Lower Front Panels have 27 1/2” between them up and down and then using a hammer, drive the 12” provided stakes down through the holes in A2 bottoms into ground so as to keep door frame properly separated. Make sure corners are square.

ŒInsert E1 Mid Arc into E4 support brackets that were installed in prior step. Using H2 Gold T-25 5” long screws, drive two screws in each outter run wall B & C such that the screws drive through the B1 & C3 upper panels and into the laminated end of the E1 mid arc. Screws will be driven at an angle and should drive into the middle of E1 in an upper and lower pattern. See Fig Œ

�Insert front end set of E2 Roof supports so that the notched corbel ends stick out beyond A4 Front Arc and the square back ends fit into pockets on E1 Mid Support. Fit will vary but should be snug. Drive 1 T25 Brown screw from inside of back side of E1 pockets so the screw drives through E1 and into E2 ends. See Fig �

ŽRepeat process in step � for back set of E2 Roof Supports that hook into D2 Back Arc. Secure back side of this set of Roof Supports by toe screwing a Brown T25 screw at an angle from the back side of E1 Mid Arc so that the screw drives into E2 holding it secure to E1. Fig �

Note: These screws are mainly used to hold the roof into place while the eaves and metal are installed which will do most of the work to keep the roof attached. So make it look pretty, and know that the work of keeping things strong happen in next steps.

ŒUsing green T20 screws in the pre-drilled holes, attach the 6 E3 eave boards, 3 each side to the top side walls B&C of the run assembly. First install middle eave board, centering it on the E1 mid arc, then install outer eave boards which have magnets, facing magnets up. Back of eave boards should run flush along upper beveled 2x4 of B&C walls and top face of eaves should fit substantially flush along the top edges of all three arcs giving a smooth surface for the roof metal to roll onto. Adjust the board angles as needed to make transition as smooth as possible while screwing down.

�Repeat procedure for both run sides. All boards are equal length. Just the orientation of the magnet is the difference.

ŒThe 3X E5 107” long roof panels are predrilled. Lay out outer two panels (holes only in one edge) under the middle upper panel (holes in both edges) so that you can get holes to substantially line up with ends flush and the double grooves overlapping. Middle panel on top.

�Position one of the lower roof panels onto the lower part of the roof using the Eave Magnets to help you hold the panel in place and move it around until it overhangs ends of the E3 Eaves and E2 Roof Supports by about 1 inch. When you lay over the upper edge of the panel towards the top of the roof the edge should just overlap and rest on tops of the E2 roof supports. Overhang of the bottom edge of the roof panel beyond the E3 eaves should be about 2 inches.

ŽPlace top roof panel over edge of lower roof panel that is resting on the E2 roof support and align grooves to where they are overlapping and fasten several of the H10 Neoprene Washer Roof Screws using the H12 Bit Holder with no bit driving screws into E2 Roof support and clamping the lower roof panel down under the upper panel. See Fig Ž. Repeat procedure for other side and then install all of the H10 Neoprene Sscrews tightening them only enough to compress the washer and not dent the roof metal.

We try to pre-drill all the holes :) many of which are blind going up from the bottom into the upper rails to hide the screw heads. indicate minimum number of screws at joints for X’sassembly to be strong, more is okay. See FigŒ for how sides join to back. It is correct for F12 to stick up higher.

ŒBefore attaching egg box sub assembly in the previous step, the egg box jump bars need to be installed. There are 4 B5 Jump Bar Brackets that are numbered 1-4 and the corresponding position on the B2 panels is marked. Using the longer H2 Gold T25 Screws, attach each of the B5 Brackets into the correct position capturing the B4 Bars in the holes of the brackets. Screw 2 screws from the back side of the B2 Panels in the pre-drilled holes. See Photo Œ Make sure bottom edge is flush so bar stays out of way of door when door is opened. Hit pre-drilled holes in B5.

�Using provided H8 Eye Bolt & Hooks install an eye bolt and hook into the positions indicated by on the B2 Panels (see photo �) and rotate X’sso that when doors are flipped up they can catch on wire wall (see photo Ž) to hold doors up when servicing egg boxes.

ŒInstall 4X H9 Poultry Nipples into 2X Sections of F4 Waterer by first seating black rubber grommet into

hole, rotating as required to seat, and then force fitting Red Nipple into grommet until completely seated.

Note: Observe all instructions and warnings on can of PVC glue which is packed in end of waterer pipe.

�Place the waterer halves in a way that the middles are near each other, open can of PVC glue and using bottle cap brush in can smear an even thin coat of glue around inside surface of larger end of pipe and on outside of surface of smaller end of pipe. Even thin complete coverage of glue is required without dry spots. Coat a ~4” section of ends, about as far as brush will reach in.

Within about 30 seconds of applying glue, insert two halves of pipe together twisting and rotating hales and at the same time pushing completely in and lining up Nipples in a row. A mark is provided to assist you. Glue provided is Regular Set glue and should give ample working time. Push into ground if needed to completely join halves. Let dry for 30 minutes and then rinse out and test. Some water dripping from Nipples is normal, too much and you should remove nipples and flush them out as debris may have become lodged in them.

ŽInsert F4 Waterer into Coop through F1 Panel With Cutout and have a helper hold a F5 Water Support Bracket in place below middle support of F8 Egg Box Floor � aligning the Waterer to sit against the back side of the B3 strut. Repeat with other F5 Bracket at position ‘ See Fig Ž for detail.
