Reducing "For-Sale" Coop weight without compromising Quality

Why not simply make them come apart? Much easier to move five 100lb sections vs one 500lb unit

That specific coop we took the doors off and that helped with the weight. but I build these things solid to last forever. It's really not possible to get the quality I want to achieve with a modular design. Good idea though, Maybe I will look for better opportunities to makes things addable once it is on site.

You love to poke me aart!

I poke what ever needs poking

it would be hard for them to hop up there / fly.

Even harder to get down.

This coop can only handle 6 birds or so though, so they would all in theory fit on the lower roost if needed.

Lower roost is how long...and floor dimensions are X x Y??

As far as landing space for roosts, I think of it this way: however high a roost is up, the birds need roughly equivalent to that on one side of the bar to land.
