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?
