Assembly instructions
Fowl House Series
Congratulations on purchasing your new Pinnacle fowl house. Before assembling, we recommend
you read the instructions thoroughly. Your new fowl house comes with pre-drilled holes to make
assembly quicker. We recommend you assemble it using a trestle table or sawhorses and planks.
This will ensure that you are working o the ground and make it easier for you.
Assembly of this fowl house is a two-person job and should not be attempted in windy conditions.

Warning: Do not assemble this fowl house on a windy day.
Warning: This fowl house must be fully assembled and anchored to a concrete slab using a bolt down kit in one session/day.
This fowl house must not be left partly assembled.
Assembly recommendations: We recommend a minimum of two people are needed to assemble this fowl house.
Concrete slab: Please ensure that your site is level. It is recommended that your slab is
100mm thick and you use builder’s plastic and F52 reinforcing mesh. We recommend that
you make your slab 100mm bigger than the base dimensions of your fowl house. This will
allow for a 50mm edge around your fowl house. We recommend that you slope the 50mm
edges downward by 10mm so that rainwater can drain away from your fowl house.

CAUTION: Birds can be susceptible to heavy metal poisoning from zinc/galvanised coatings. Please check that our metal fowl
houses are suitable for your pet. Refer to your local vet for further information.
IMPORTANT: Scrub the mesh with a mild solution of vinegar (2 cups in a bucket of water) and then rinse with clean water. This will
remove excess zinc that could potentially cause harm to pets.

Step 2: Assemble the rear wall panels
For easier assembly of your fowl house use sawhorses with timber studs as per diagram below (timber needs to be the same length
as the fowl house (1.5 M)) or alternatively, a trestle table.
Place 2 x part S75 (sheets) on your worktable and join together with the self-tapping screws as per the diagram below.
Now t parts 20B (top channel) and 20C (bottom channel) to the sheeting by tapping (diagram A) or sliding them in (diagram B). Make
sure the small lip of the channel is always facing out. This ensures rainwater cannot build up inside your fowl house.

Step 2: Assemble the rear wall panels (continued)
Please note the groove should face downwards. Position the top and bottom channels with self-tapping screws as well. NOTE: All screws
marked with a cross should not be xed at this stage.
Tip: If panel and screw holes do not line up, try pulling panel to match up holes.

Step 3: Assemble the side wall panels
Place 2 x part S76 (sheets) on your worktable and tap or slide on part 20H (top channel) and part 20A (bottom channel). Fix part 20A
(bottom channel) with self-tapping screws but not part 20H (top channel) at this stage. Make sure the small lip of the channels is
always facing out. This ensures rain water cannot build up inside your fowl house. NOTE: All screws marked with a cross should not
be xed at this stage.

Step 4: Assemble the roof panel
Place 2 x part 8A (sheets) on your worktable and join together with the self-tapping screws as per the diagram below.
Now tap or slide 2 x part 20A (channels) onto the sheeting and x them to the top and bottom with self-tapping screws. Make sure the
small lip on both channels are facing out. This ensures rainwater cannot build up inside your fowl house. Now t 2 x part 51A (side
lips) to the sheeting and x them with the self-tapping screws provided.

x with self-tapping screws. NOTE: Fix parts 20F (top channel) from the centre hole rst. Secure the iron mesh by riveting part 86
(channel) onto part 20F (top channel). It’s recommended you x part 86 (channel) from the inside rst followed by the front. Make sure
the small lip on both channels (20F & 20E) is facing out. This ensures rainwater cannot build up inside your fowl house.
