Anyone know where to buy this type of Coop Window hardware?

For a hen house you can tilt them out with a small link of chain. I have seen many like this around here.

I know they can be tilted in and hooked with a chain easy enough. However i am looking for the metal sides like shown that way wind driven rain cant get blown into the coop at the sides of the window.

It looks like homebrew to me. Get some thicker sheet tin, a good set of shears, and a brake. Practice doing rolled edges, that's going to be sharp.

or just make it yourself out of plywood, with a piece of 2x2 (or even just a coupla metal angle braces) as the 'stop' that limits how far the window opens. Primed and painted and made with exterior-grade ply, it should last fairly well.

They are just window solid window frames, or "transom window" most discount lumber store have them. Usually the are the cheapeast windows you can get and the easiest and simplest window to make. Normally they have a pair of hindges on the bottom or sides so the window can be opened or closed. Some have chains, rods or in this case sheet metal so they don't open all the way.

Some are mounted on the outside and swing all the way open like a window shutter would and have wire covering the opening. Some tilt in like the one in the pictures and use anything from chains, rods, or other device to keep them from coming in all the way. I have seen some the hang all the way down when open.

The hindges can be mount on the bottom, top, or side. Or you can have pin hindges mounted in the middle.

You can make transom windows from other types of windows, like a double or single hung window. By taking the inner frames out of the larger frame.

They use a wood toggle at the top of these to keep them closed. the Wood toggle can be used to keep them open or closed. I have some detail picture of how to make the toggle, but they are still in the camera.

So what did you end up going with DENALI? Did you find or make the hardware you were looking for to make the widows tilt in?

Got pics of your finished product yet?

Those windows are very common in Germany. we had them and they were awsome. they even had doors that could lean in. I think you can find what you are looking for at a store that carries hardware for furniture/cabinets. The hinges used for some desks that have lids like "Secretary Desks". I have some cabinets that open like you want, they are hinged on the bottom, and have a bracket about half way up, the bracket is two pieces of metal about 1/4" wide and 3" long each and attached together so they bend (like a rivit). on the ends they are bent 90 degrees to accomidate screws. Sorry very hard to describe, I can't take a picture as I am not at home until next week. I will try to remember and do that.

Talk to a cabinet maker he likely can help.

Good Luck, it is a great Idea.
