Slide up doors

[sillybirds]

anojones,

!

Your side-sliding door looks nicely constructed. You can both open and close it from outside, right? Only other comment I might have, other than that it looks great, is to wonder if it's high enough above the floor, especially if you're going to use the deep litter method, so the bottom u-channel (?) doesn't get clogged with litter/poop/etc.

I boxed in the inside opening with a 1X6 board, I'm not sure how well it will work, no chickens in coop. Using the DLM I can get at lest 6" deep. Go back and look at my picture and you can see the board inside the poop door. Getting chick's this spring.

Yes I can open from out side run, thought it would be easy to turn them out in the mourning and lock them up a night.
