Just another coop going up

Those twisty things that you use your thumb and the side of your forefinger to turn 90 degrees. That should latch them shut. Or you can use an i-thingy and hook.

Not sure what twisty things are. How bout a picture?

It isn't a great picture but the small metal thing can be twisted around horizontally when you want to open the hinged door and vertically to hold it shut. You can buy the hardware at a store or you can make your own with wooden blocks that can be turned on a screw.

Turn latch, I think they're called.

Beautiful looking coop. Excellent craftmanship too!! Can't wait to see the finish coop.

Hmm, I'm just thinking, but, I wonder how difficult that would be for a raccoon to open?

Fantastic looking coop!

I was wondering the same thing about the coons myself. We have some very smart ones in the neighberhood.

No kidding! It would have been a great place to put visiting in-laws!

Looking at your pictures I don't see how a raccoon could reach the latches unless it was repelling down from the roof.

Good job.
