Plum Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I am planning to put my cube in the run with access door for poo tray and one for the lid and back. Has anyone done this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 We, or should i say OH, left a gap at the top of the run so the roof could slide forward, I would imagine you would need the same sort of thing for yours and the poo trays. Cookie monsters is the best but we cant all have carpenters for OHs unfortunately. If it would help I could take a picture tomorro. The gap for the poo trays would be simpler as it would be straight. The hole we have for the roof has the odd gap because of the curve of the roof which i put lumps of wood in front of to deter unwanted visitors.

Plum Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 I've drawn some plans tonight which I think will work but would love to see your pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I will put them on tomorro Plum but the roof hole is a bit haphazzard and OH was losing his patience with it so its all a bit hit and miss. But I dont think anything unwanted could get in and thats the main thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chick wiggle Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Pics as promised Plum you have to leave quite a gap to allow the roof to lift up when pushed forward. You can see the gap here But i just pop a bit of wood there to cover it, it was the simplest thing i could think of to cover the gap, it works anyway Hope it helps Plum, Im sure making a hole for the poo trays would be easier as they are straight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Thanks see what you mean, it would be much easier if the cube was square but not nearly so nice to look at. You did a good job there I think I will make a hinged flap with at least that much clearance on top, perhaps 6 ins so top flap up for cube roof and bottom flap down for poo trays and both open to clean inside. Just need to make sure I have clearance for them to open with blinking trees in the way. Guess the next option would be lift out sections but that's a bit complicated. No this will work Next worry is roof but I'll post about that when I have sorted out my plans for the rest of the panels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 hinged flaps would be a better idea. I kept saying that to OH but he wanted to do it his fancy way and when it didnt go to plan he lost his patience with it and this is what we ended up with Men! But it works anyway *shrugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
