Green original cube and walk-in run for sale

Hi am planning on doing a big cleanout of my eglu + converter today, and was wondering if it might be a good idea to take the end door panel off to make access easier? Its seems like a very difficult task to reach/climb in through the tiny door to rake out all the woodchips? Any thoughts on this matter would be appreciated

Either that, or you could detach the whole run from the Eglu by undoing the screws and washers. Or lift the whole thing to one side?

 

I definitely wouldn't climb through the door, but that's chiefly because my generously-proportioned rear end might get stuck!

I know what you mean, I risk either being stuck in or shut in (I'm sure someone will think its really funny!) either option is unappealing!. Good idea to perhaps take the eglu off at the other end tho! Thanks

Saves undoing the little plastic clips

Yep, don't go doing that in a hurry, unless you have a £1 coin handy!

Oooo Liz, I didn't know about the £1 coin tip

 

I'll have to give it a go!!!!

Well, I only did when I was helping to take apart the eglus at the Bath and West, thanks to Darren and Helen.

I found it easier just to move the whole eglu and run over to the side, to be honest! That way you can really have a good dig over of the run area .

 

It's a good idea to loosen the bolts and washers periodically either way as they tend to seize up .

this is the wake I did it when I had an eglu, I moved them to a different area, I don't do crawling through weeny doorways

I just unscrew the run from the eglu and pull it down the garden so that I can get to the run area.
