Thanks.

Thanks to her suggestion, we also used frames to attach the hardware cloth to and then attached the frames into the roof. This also allows us easy access to the roofing panels from below in case we need to do any maintenance on the roof.

Also, instead of wrapping the hardware cloth around the frame, we just cut pieces and attached each section. This really allowed us to really line up the hardware cloth onto the frame very well.

But I gotta say….the hydrolic lift for the inner coop door is genius!

Thanks to The Garden Coop and Erica for the wonderful inspiration and ideas. We LOVE our coop and can’t wait to get the chicks now! I’ll send photos soon.
