I have a coop window which is hinged at the top. It swings out, and is held open with a little elbow-type thing from the hardware store. I have hardware cloth fastened inside the window. In order to open and close the window I have to go outside, bend the elbow, and push the window in. The window is not easy to get to from the outside.
Does anyone have a clever suggestion as to how I could open and close the window from inside the coop? Maybe a little gap in the hardware cloth? How would I refasten it?
OR, I'm thinking that maybe I could remove the elbow and put in a rigid dowel which would be small enough to poke through the holes in the hardware cloth. I could pull it in and close the window that way. Don't know how I'd hitch it, exactly.
Has anybody rigged something up like this?
Thanks.
