BUILDING A WOOD STAND
FOR YOUR SNAP LOCK CHICKEN COOP
39 3/4"
36 3/4"
36 3/4"
17"
36 3/4"
1) Start by building a simple
frame from four standard
2x4's. (Note: Standard 2x4's
actually measure 1-1/2" x 3-
1/2".) Cut all four boards to
36-3/4" lengths and then
assemble them as shown
using either nails or screws.
2) Adding an optional
2x4 that is cut to the
same 36-3/4" length will
add extra support and
will also allow you to
hang a feeder or waterer
underneath the coop.
3)Four legs can now
be added. Whether
you use 2x4's, 4x4's,
pressure treated, non-
pleasure treated, and
length of cut, is your
preference. We can
suggest that building a
stand with about 24"
of clearance
underneath the coop,
leaves room for your
hens to utilize the
space and also keeps
the coop at a good
ergonomic height for
cleaning and egg
collection.
