Could there be any rain leak through the gap of the lid to the wall? I am in a dilema how to seal the same type of the lid on my planned outside attached nesting box.@ Davisfamily....I finished the nesting box and snapped a couple more photos. I used 5/8 inch zip system for the walls, floor and lid. The side walls and center partition dimensions are 16" high (front edge) x 14" high (back edge) x 12" depth. The width of the entire box is 32", allowing about 15" for the two nesting boxes when you account for the width of the 5/8" partition and side walls. For support, i framed the inside of the box(es) with 1 x 2 pine. At the front of the set up (attaching to the coop) I attached a 1 x 3 frame, creating a lip to keep bedding and eggs from falling out. This also served as a means of attaching the setup to the coop. Then, as you cansee inthe photos, I went around the outside of the box with 1x2s as molding....to seal things up. I was planning on shingling the roof of the box, but I'm thinking it'll get too hot in the nesting box.
This is very old thread, and the OP haven't been around since 2012, so no answer from them.
