Install two E3 roof screws into the outer two edge holes. Rack the front side of the roost to where the bottom edge of the roof panel is equal on either side with B7 eave board and screw in the center screw. Repeat procedure for back side of the roost. This squares up the roof onto the roost box. Install the remaining five E3 roof screws, tightening only enough to compress the rubber washer but not so tight as to deform roof metal.After attaching roof, place roost assembly onto run in positionindicated, lining up roost framewith edges of top panels.Fasten two E1brown screws into bottom door frame, asindicated, to hold roost tobottom.Install roostdoor hardware,not forgetting to remove the nail in doorframe that holds it in place during shipping.

Egg Box AssemblyRamp Door7Attach C3 egg box door to C1 and C2 egg box sides using four E1 brown screws from door into sides in pre-drilled holes. Make sure top is flush. You will install this assembly later. Using six E2 green screws, attach hinges of the A10 ramp door to inside edge of opening in A4 ramp panel. Note: If you want to use the door to lock your hens in the roost, put a rope in the hole at the end of the ramp and secure up by some means you’re comfortable with. We do not accomodate a particular method as few people use this feature since they feel the cage is already so strong. Make tops flushE1 Brown Screws 4xA10A4Ridges in roof panel go up.B8B4
