Where to put door?

[Shikanah]

So I am planning on purchasing a shed like this one that is plastic and has a floor. I'm liking the idea of doing the deep litter method. I'll have to add the pop door for the chickens, but I'm not sure how high up I should put the door so it doesn't get blocked by litter, but isn't too high up for the birds. I'd love some advice

About the second line up on the sides.
Don't forget your ventilation.

Put it as high as you want. Chickens can hop pretty well, and they can fly. My coop is raised , pop door is a good 2 1/2 feet off the ground. My hens would not even bother with the ramp, so I removed it. You will need more ventilation in that shed, though.

Thanks you guys. How much more ventilation should I do?

Ideally, the recommendation is one square foot per chicken.

Ventilation: Minimum 1 sq ft per chicken in moderate climates, if you're in a hotter climate you'll want a lot more.

Pop door: Something like 6-8" up should be enough to hold bedding in and allow you to build it up for deep bedding.

Thanks. I'll have to research the best way to add enough ventilation
