Back door on coop not sitting correctly.

Recommended Posts

I recently bought an Eglu Cube and 3m run for my 4 rescue hens. It all went together fine and the hens seem to like it. I then bought an auto door and had to partially disassemble the coop to install the door. When I put the coop back together again, I noticed that it was out of alignment and the back door would not fit correctly. I unscrewed the roof again and pushed the sides in before putting the roof back on again. The door now fits in but is off to one side, rather than being centred like it was before. Has anyone else had this issue, or know how to fix it?

Hi Marykin!

I have the exact same issue with the back door being off-centre. I thought it was just a slight discrepancy in the build, but we’ve had some very strong winds, and it seems to have gotten worse, so much so that there is now a small gap in the top right above the back door. 
When we first assembled the coop, we weren’t happy with the fit of the second roof panel (which sat slightly higher than the other) so we took it off and put it on again several times, but couldn’t get it any better. The roof is watertight and everything but now I’m thinking our back door misalignment must be because of the roof panel issue.

Please let me know if you managed to fix your issue, and if so, how!

Thank you so much!
