I did a search but found nothing on the style roost I'm planing on using.
I'm building a 4'×8' coop with two pop holes. I'm keeping the interior simple so it can be easily cleaned and divided internally by a movable partition wall

My idea for roots is to build something along the idea of traditional wooden picnic table benches turned upside down with the roost bars sitting in the X formed by the legs. What would normally be the underside of the bench sitting surface would act as a poop board.
The advantages I see are,
1) Nothing will be attached to the interior wall making installing/moving/removing interior partition wall easier.
2) Cleaning roosts and poop boards will be easier.
3) Cleaning coop floor will be easier with roosts out of the way.
I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this. Has anyone else tried this style roost. I'd like to hear others thoughts on this style roost.
Thanks From
