Formex Snap Lock Chicken Coops Assembly Instructions Manual page 17

Step 1: Assemble the Coop Base. Start by
flipping both halves upside down (Fig.a), so
that you can see the underside of the coop
base. On the underside, you will see that one
Coop Base half is marked with an "A" and one
is marked with a "B".
Fig. 1b
The "A" half has the larger
channel and the "B" half has the
smaller channel. (Fig. 1b)
Now you can flip the Coop Base over and insert the last three fasteners into the three 1/4" holes remaining (Fig.
1e). In order to make sure that you penetrate the "B" half, you may need to support the base from underneath,
while you press down the fastener. Stacking two of the roosts and placing them underneath the Coop Base may
help.

Place the "B" side's channel into
the "A" side's channel, overlap-
ping both halves together. There
are five 1/4" holes in both the
channels that will line up when
finished. (Fig. 1c)

Take one of the five nylon ratchet
fasteners and insert it through one of
the side holes, being sure to pene-
trate both halves. Take the second
fastener and do the same on the
other side. (Fig. 1d)
