Thanks for all of the knowledge and experiences shared here
Thanks for all of the responses!
Does anyone care for swing open door vs guillotine style automatic doors. I believe that we could make both work.
Also regarding security? Has anyone had trouble with predators prying doors open?
Looking to revive this thread with a question for those who posted about automatic doors:
what brand of door did you purchase?
How is it holding up?
Solar or Electrical run to coop?
Timer or photo-sensor?
Looking for your advice and experience!
