This is exactly what I'm planning to mount. Did you use the wavy supports sold just for these panels (I'm going to use the Home Depot SunTuf)? How has yours help up?
Did you do it? I've been considering the same using regular chicken wire (mine would be for while I'm working in the yard, not all the time so fewer predator concerns) but the tunnel would be made out of shorter segments attached to one another so it would be jointed. 1 foot in diameter. I'd...
Will they sleep perpendicular to the wall? If I actually use a ladder placed parallel to the wall, will they use the rungs as well? It would increase roost area without increasing sq ft.
How far out past the roost should the droppings board/poop hammock extend to really catch most of the poop? For example, if my roost bars are 12" from the wall, how far past that 12 inches should the board extend - 4" (16" from the wall)?
So many gorgeous coop design ideas but they nearly all have tiered roosts - one bar higher than the next. I understand about "pecking order" but is there any reason I shouldn't make all the roosts at the same height - maybe as if using a horizontal ladder?
