More info on the eglu cube...

Recommended Posts

  • Omlet Staff

Hi guys,

 

We have just put the some information pages on the eglu cube complete with pictures of the inside and dimensions here:

 

http://www.omlet.co.uk/products_services/products_services.php?view=Eglu%20Cube

 

Delivery Time

Although the first eglu parts have started to come off the production line, we are expecting production tweaks and testing to last about 3-4 weeks.

 

We will be fleshing out the site with more information over the next weeks, in the meantime don't hesitate to give us a call to find out more.

 

Cheerio,

 

James

I should have said thank you too. But it's too dark to go out and do the measurements now!

 

The crucial figures as I see them:

 

Length 2m (which can be lengthened by two 1m extensions). (Room needed at front to get access to feed and at back to poo trays, as before.)

 

Width including skirt: 160cm

 

Height of cube + run: 120 cm

 

Eggport is on same side as before, but handle for opening the door is on the opposite side. Have I got this right? If so, this has serious implications for me (may involve redesign of garden).

:think:

 

Hadn't noticed that bit - will also have to consider that when measuring up the garden.

 

Note to self: Do not let Joe see this topic - he'll talk me out of getting one! :wink:

I am not sure I am right about the need for space on both sides: do please check with Omlet. This is how I interpret what I have seen:

 

This picture shows the door and the door-opening mechanism on what I would describe as the far side (the side that most of us with modest gardens have had to ram up against the fence or wall, and can't get at).

 

This picture of the Eglu cube from the back shows that the nest is on the opposite side to the door, in the same place as before (the near side).

 

And this picture shows the egg-port door on the near side as with the current Eglu, but there is no sign of another way to open the door here.

 

It looks to me as though you need to have access to both sides of the Eglu cube, which makes the width considerable.

the clearest pic does show the handle as being the same side as the port. but the port should be on the nest side so I can only assume there is two ports in case you need to get at a chook in the roosting area.

 

Looking again it does seems as if there are two ports

:) Is it the sort you see in really old films, with a running board?

The Riley I mean, not the cube.

I've always wanted one of those. (Both items :lol: ).

 

Its not that old :shock: Its basically a Mk 2 Mini with a proper boot and a larger front grille. It has sliding windows and outside door hinges 8)

Does it matter? The handle would only be sticking out at night, and wiould only get in your way if you are a night prowler.

 

I don't want any cleverly recesssed handle first thing in the morning: I just need something I can blearily grab.

 

Gallina do you think cushion (love that name) will get up the ladder? Thinking about it in in the far distant and not sure if the Cochin's would be bothered to climb, as it is Tilly likes to sit and watch the world go by :wink::D
