Ammonia smell in coop-first time owner

Has anyone ever extended their cube run to the side using roof and end panels? if anyone has can you please post some photos

 

Thanks

[Plum]

That would be interesting. Don't see how the curve of the roof can be accommodated though.

Hi Plum

 

I was thinking taking off the current side panels then just use the clips to join on two new roof panels and add two new end panels so from the front it would look like a m shape if that makes sense

[Plum]

Yes makes great sense. I'll stare at my cube tomorrow and think about it. The roof may lose its M shape except at the ends but would that matter.

Good way to create extra space if you don't have the space lengthways for another extension.

I'll be out there with the tapemeasure come dawn.

I am getting an extended (delivery due on 01.07.09) and would really like the idea of extending it to the side if needed. It would certainly make more efficient use of space rather than extending length-wise.

 

If enough people were interested, maybe omlet could consider introducing a new, lateral extension kit.

 

Or would it be possible to cannibalise existing extension kits?

Hi Pedro

 

I have hade a look and i think you would only need to cut a bit of the end panel that would meet the side of the cube and a small piece of the roof panel but not much. omlet sell these panels if you call them.
