Eglu cube or go up with 2m run

[Cooks]

its a steel roof

better pictures for you before mezz levels although I dont know how close you can see the roof

Thank you, can you confirm the reason you have a curved cut out in the wood for the top of the cube? Does the lid overhang thus requiring to be recessed into the run for a snug fit?

 

Also is the cube attached in any way to the run? If not would it be easy to get "knocked" out of position?

[Cooks]

to gain access into the cube the roof slides forward hence the curve cut out to allow it to do this. Others do it differently however this was how I wanted it. My roof slides forward into the cut out nicely

The cube is far to heavy for anything to move it out the way.

[thelurch]

I couldnt remember how the lid came off but that makes sense now and is a very good idea, I need to get my cube on order so I can play around with it and design/build the run with these sort of practicalities in mind.....now wheres my credit card....

[Cooks]

yes it makes sense to have it there and fiddle around thats what we did.

 

We also made the cubes standing area a different level than the WIR's to ensure the ladder was closer to the ground as it is a little hop, skip and jump to get on it otherwise

 

If I can help further let me know,

Loving the new levels Cookie! And they have the chook approval too

 

Ive got one similar to yours - we used the old green house staging - but it works a treat!

 

If I ever have to medicate the girls its much easier to do on your own with a higher level

[Cooks]

thanks Emma they have been up there today so they are using them

I never thought of greenhouse staging until Tasha mentioned it in an earlier reply but it is very similar Hubby made these from scratch bless him as we do not have a greenhouse to nick the staging from..

Lewis liked the chains - rather clever.

 

Think if I took apart the greenhouse for the WIR I'd be forced to end up living in it

Worth it though

 

Fussy chickens eh

[Cooks]

oh they are fine with it now... its just that scarey chain bumble hated..
