Door for coop?

[newbiekat]

Thanks guys. I think I might do a sliding tin door on a track. That way I can open it up during the summers on nice days, maybe put a screen of some sort, maybe hardware mesh or something behind it that way there's still some protection... I dunno, just brainstorming at this point. But I'm not sure what I'll do about a chicken door if I do it that way... Maybe something like those doggie doors that you can put on the side of a doorway? Like the one I've attached... I just don't know how I would do that if I have a sliding door

Who says that a chicken door has to be in the big doorway? Maybe put it on the side?

Good point! Are you thinking cutting it out of the wall that's already there?

 

[Baymule]

Yeah. Put up the sliding doors you want. Then cut a door in the side wall, frame it up, hang the door and you get both of what you want.

Nice building @newbiekat! I just saw this post. Did you get a door yet? If not I was going to suggest maybe a dutch door that you can either open the bottom or the top. You can even get a door for cheap via Craigslist or something and make your own.
