and chicken keeping training to Haitians as a renewable way for them to provide
food for themselves. Your new Round-Top Sustain Coop™ is the commercial
version of the coops we're endeavoring to provide to the people of Haiti. Thank you!

Some things you should know...
Understanding these concepts / conventions will help guide you through the
instructions.
Mating edges of parts to be flush and tight (when called for) will keep
measurements in tolerance as the coop grows in size.
Having a flat area is required for the coop to assemble properly.
We estimate about 6 hours to assemble. Two people are helpful.
You will need a drill (preferably cordless) and a tape measure will be
helpful. Everything else is provided.
Drive screws only deep enough to hold parts tight and not bury the
heads too deeply as water will sit in the divots and it may cause
softening of the wood and prematurely loosen screws. It will also greatly
decrease your ability to easily disassemble a part if needed.
You may end up directly driving in a screw. The brown and green screws
are very aggressive and will drive with no pre-drilled hole. Keep screw
entry points in the meat of the wood and not too close to edges. Screws
in knots or close to edges should be pre-drilled.
Rough Cedar may have knots, cracks or frays that are normal. We cull
and cut around most imperfections we deem structurally problematic
during fabrication. If you get a piece that you feel is not beautiful, please
let us know so we can address your concern.
We hand fabricated your coop with human carpenters. We work really
hard to not make mistakes. In the rare occasion that we either
misfabricated a part, a part was damaged in shipping, or we forgot to
package a needed part, contact us and we will ship out a replacement
part for you at no cost.
We recommend dirt floors in the runs of coops. A trimmed rubber mat or
turf mat can be placed in the bottom of egg boxes, or you may wish to
put pine shavings them. They are left wired so they can be cleaned in the
event of a broken egg.
We try to write instructions that work for both visual and verbal learners. Pictures
supplement words and words supplement pictures. These written instructions, as provided
with your purchase, will always be the latest iteration of the instructions and match the
coop shipped and provide the most complete up-to-date information.
We depend on feedback about our instructions to implement changes to future versions.
Please know that we value your input to that ongoing process and endeavor to produce
instructions that are as effective as possible for a wide variety of customers.

  • Page 27 Some things to know about using your new Round-Top Sustain™ Chicken Coop You will need to put some sort of a liner in the bottom of the egg boxes. We recommend a cut up door mat that can be washed. An egg might get broken or some chickens will prefer sleeping in the egg boxes at times in the year, and a liner makes it easy to wash.
