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.
�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.

More about your Roost & Root product!
Care:
You can seal your coop if you wish. You should use a low VOC water based product. You can have color added to these products too...like painting, but its a wood stain that lets the
wood breathe. We recommend color sealing rather than painting. You paid a premium price for your coop in part to pay for the cedar. It will last outdoors in its natural state for many
years, better than almost any other wood. Sealing can keep the wood from going grey. That's the main benefit. Clean wood with mild detergent and water or with a commercially
available coop cleaner as needed. Glues used in all joints are completely waterproof and all metal parts are galvanized or have exterior rated coatings.
Placement:
Easy access to water/feed and clear access to doors is needed. Sunlight is not all bad, and the Galvalume roof does a good job at not transferring heat and provides shade. Sunlight
does a good job at disinfecting the ground under the coop. Fifty percent (50%) or more of direct sun is preferred. Good air movement around your coop is more important than anything
else. The back side should be faced North if at all possible. Remember... High ground is dry ground. For coop doors to open easily over time, the coop must be level.
Digging Predators:
The welded wire and cedar frames are stronger than almost any predator less than a bear :) so diggers are the prime nuisance. By far dogs are the most common digger. Other "wild"
animals, while more rare, certainly can dig too. If you’re worried about diggers, stack heavy block shaped rocks around perimeter of coop to make getting under more difficult. Better yet,
bury them around the perimeter just below grade. You can also attach a strip of wire that extends out from the bottom rails, and bury below the surface of the soil. We recommend dirt
in bottom of coops that has good drainage. Pine shavings, straw or shredded junk mail can be used in laying areas... but is not recommended in the main run areas.
More About Cedar:
Your coop is built from rough cut Appearance Grade North American Western Red Cedar. Our 2x2's are actually custom milled by Weyerhaeuser. Wood deemed defective is culled
during milling, cutting and in fabrication... about 5%-10%. Knots, blemishes, fraying, coloring variations, minor surface cracking, slight warping and periodic worm marks are normal
parts of rough cedar. We try to make it to where a reversible part always has a “pretty side” and take care to make the “pretty side” show on all parts. If you’re unhappy with a piece of
wood we fabricated into your coop, send us a picture. We want you to love every piece of your new coop.
