Setup and Assembly

The Thanaddo Chicken Coop features a bolted assembly design for straightforward construction. It is recommended that two adults perform the assembly.

Step 1: Unpack and Organize Components

Carefully unpack all items and lay them out. Group similar parts together to simplify the assembly process. Refer to the parts list to ensure all components are present.

Step 3: Attach the Hexagonal Wire Mesh

Once the main frame is stable, unroll the PVC-coated hexagonal wire mesh and attach it to the frame. Use the provided fasteners or ties to secure the mesh tightly to all sides of the coop, ensuring there are no gaps that could allow predators to enter or animals to escape. The small gaps in the mesh are designed for enhanced safety.

Step 4: Install the Waterproof and UV Protection Cover

Drape the PE-coated tarp cover over the designated roof section of the coop. Secure the cover using the provided grommets and ties. Ensure the cover is taut to allow for proper water runoff and to prevent pooling. This cover provides protection from sun, rain, and snow.

Step 5: Secure the Door

Install the pre-assembled door into its designated opening. Ensure the hinges operate smoothly and the lockable steel door latch functions correctly. The door is designed for easy access for adults while keeping animals securely contained.

Access: The coop features a walk-in design with a height of 6.56 feet, allowing adults to enter and exit comfortably for feeding, cleaning, and animal care.
Security: Always ensure the lockable steel door is properly latched when animals are inside to protect them from predators.
Animal Placement: This coop is suitable for various small pets, including chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits. Ensure the number of animals housed is appropriate for the coop's dimensions (10'x20'x6.56') to provide ample space for foraging and movement.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your chicken coop and ensure a healthy environment for your animals.

Cleaning: Periodically clean the interior of the coop, removing waste and soiled bedding. The wire mesh can be hosed down.

Mesh Inspection: Check the PVC-coated hexagonal wire mesh for any tears, holes, or loose fastenings. Repair any damage promptly to maintain security.
Cover Care: Inspect the PE-coated tarp for tears or wear. Clean the cover as needed. The cover is designed to be waterproof and UV-resistant, but prolonged exposure to extreme weather may affect its longevity.
