Finished our coop!

Your coop looks great! How did you secure your roosting bars to still lift out of the way?

Maybe something like a piano hinge.

Hey everyone! We just finished our oiop last night. The girls spent their first night in it and seemed to do alright. I have a question on our nesting boxes. I feel like we need a different latch system, it seems like a racoon could easily open if they wanted, too. We don't have a lot of raccoons honestly being in a neighborhood. But, would love suggestions for a better latch. Pics of our coop and enclosed run.

Great job!! Very pretty also.

They appear to be bolted through the studs.

Replacing the existing hook closures with a hasp and carabiner like you have on the back of the double access doors would work.

My husband used 2 large washers stacked on the sharp end of a screw between the studs . It lifts perfectly!
