finish to your coop,
ATTENTION
pay special attention
to the coop frame
alignment.
Squaring up your
frame will result in
the correct alignment
for the roof panels,
roof seams, and all
roof trim.
Lay all roof panels face-down
PREP:
on the ground, in the order shown at
the right.
NOTE the guide hole measurements.
NOTE the numbering stamps.
NOTE the asphalt coating on the outer-
edge panels extends to the panel sides.
(Panels S1, S4, S5, S8.)
Begin with the Chicken Run end.
PREP:
Lay the two outer-edge roof panels (S8) (S5)
in position first by aligning the predrilled
guide holes in the panels with the wood
pegs along the roof lines.
If dowels and guide holes don't properly
align at first, gently contort the front panel
until alignment is achieved.
Add the center panels. Center panels
should fall into place.
DO NOT ATTACH ANY PANELS
AT THIS TIME.
Add the Coop House panels.
PREP:
S1
Lay the outer-edge roof panels (S1) (S4)
in position first. Add the center panels.
Recheck the roof panel alignment.
Adjust the coop frame as necessary to
get as clean and straight an alignment
as possible.
Once the roof panels look aligned, start
along the center/inside ends and begin
attaching your roof.
Add the roof trim end caps
Start with the two middle [T3]
end caps. Install those first.
[T1] endcaps are the outside right,
and [T2] are on the outside left,
when facing the roof end head-on.
Align the outer end caps off of
the middles for the best result.
Lay the roof trim
PREP:
in place
[Q2] trim slats are positioned
along the peak. [Q1] trim
slats are positioned over the
side seams.
Lay all the trim in position
and adjust for the cleanest
alignment.

GOOD ALIGNMENT IS EVERYTHING
A diagram of the coop framework as viewed from above, showing
COOP
square 90° corners and perfect, flush alignment of all coop frame panels.
An off-kilter frame alignment will make it difficult to place the roof panels
correctly, will create poor roof seams, will make it difficult to finish the
end trim neatly or align the top trim correctly, and will result in a jagged
and sloppy coop roof.
