Setup and Assembly

Assembly typically requires two people and takes approximately 2.5 hours. Follow the numbered steps below in sequence.

1. Prepare the Area: Choose a level, clear outdoor space for the chicken coop. Ensure adequate drainage and sufficient clearance around the structure.
2. Assemble the Frame: Connect the galvanized steel pipes according to the provided diagrams in your product packaging. Use the spring button clips to secure connections firmly. Ensure all joints are fully engaged.
3. Attach Wire Mesh: Securely attach the plastic-coated steel wire mesh to the assembled frame. Ensure the mesh is taut and covers all open sides. Use additional fasteners (e.g., zip ties) as needed to eliminate any potential gaps that could allow predators to enter.
4. Install Roof Cover: Drape the 420D silver-coated Oxford cloth cover over the designated roof section. Secure it firmly to the frame using the provided attachments (e.g., bungee cords or ties). The slanted design should be maintained to facilitate water runoff.
5. Install Doors and Latches: Assemble and install the main access door and the feeding door. Ensure all hinges are properly aligned and all latches operate smoothly and securely. Test the security of both doors.
6. Add Interior Accessories: Place the 4-tier perches inside the coop in a stable position. Install the hanging feeder in a convenient location for your poultry, ensuring it is easily accessible for filling and cleaning.

Operating Instructions

• Accessing the Coop: Use the main door for entry and exit. Always ensure the secure latch is engaged when not in use to prevent escapes and protect against predators.
• Feeding: Utilize the dedicated feeding door to replenish food and water without needing to fully enter the coop. This minimizes the risk of chickens escaping during feeding times.
• Perches: The integrated 4-tier perches provide elevated resting spots for your poultry, promoting natural behavior and comfort.
• Weather Protection: The waterproof and UV-resistant roof cover offers essential protection from sun and rain. Ensure it is securely fastened, especially during windy conditions, to prevent damage or displacement.

Maintenance

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the coop interior and exterior to maintain hygiene and prevent disease. Remove droppings, old feed, and soiled bedding regularly.
• Inspect for Damage: Routinely check the wire mesh for any tears, holes, or weak points. Inspect the galvanized steel frame for any signs of rust, bending, or loose connections. Repair promptly to maintain security and structural integrity.
• Cover Care: Clean the Oxford cloth cover with mild soap and water as needed. Ensure it is completely dry before re-attaching or storing to prevent mold and mildew.
• Winterization: In colder climates, consider adding extra insulation or windbreaks around the base of the coop for added protection and warmth for your poultry.
