Coop Pop Door

[Calima]

Please help! Does anyone know how to build a Sliding Pop Door. Can't afford to buy an automatic door

Maybe I'm thinking to simple but I'll give it a try. Get a 1x2 strip of lumber and cut two pieces to be as long as the height of your pop door. Attach one strip vertically on each side of your pop door. Now cut a rectangle of plywood that barely covers the attached strings of 1x2, and attach it across the 1x2s. Now cut another rectangle of plywood to slide behind the attached plywood and between the 1x2s. Slide in in there and you have a sliding pop door.

If that's not helpful, maybe you could provide some more information and maybe a picture. Were you looking to make an auto-door? Is there already a pop-door hole? What is your current construction like?

Try looking through this thread, which is where I stole this picture from.
