Omlet Smart Autodoor - New in box

Having a few problems with current chook house so i am thinking of persuading OH into letting me upgrade to Cube.

 

Can the cube be easily dismantled/part dismantled and then reassembled in one day to be moved to chicken sitter house when we go away in summer? (without causing too much distress to chooks)

As long as you have an electric screwdriver!

 

My last cube was pre-loved and I drove to Manchester (from cambridge), took apart cube, drove back to cambridge and then built cube all in one day!

 

And four chooks travelled home with me. Each rewarded me with eggs on their journey and the day after too!

 

Slept well that night mind!

you are a bit of a whizz with that electric screwdriver though... I would get myself in all sorts of pickles.

That's why we have hubbies who are good with a powertool Lyns!!!

Depends how much you have to break it down to get it in the car ... it took me a couple of hours to take mine apart on Sunday so I could jet-wash it in preparation for sale, and I didn't take the wheels off. An electric screwdriver and a spare pair of hands would have helped! The roof lifts off, the sides are only held on by a couple of brackets, but it took quite a while to undo the clips that hold the run on, as well as unclipping the run itself (evil green clips ).

 

I'm sure it's do-able, but I would say you'd need to allow a couple of hours at each end of the journey - although when I did an Omlet show, I'm sure it didn't take that long to dismantle it at the end!

I expect they only put a few clips on the run for show, they were new clips and none of the screws etc had been done up for long enough to "weld" themselves into place......I agree about the clips, they are evil!!

I've taken JUST the Cube apart a few times. Most recently (last couple of weeks) to sell it. Just the Cube takes about 10 minutes to take apart (leaving most of the fixings on) and about half an hour to re-assemble.

 

Dunno with the run though.

Thanks everyone its all positive for the cube then really! If you only have to do it couple of times a year there is no hardship.
