Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your HOMCOM chicken coop requires basic tools and approximately 60-90 minutes of assembly time. Ensure all screws are tightened to maintain structural integrity. For optimal care, it is recommended to apply a wood preservative or fresh coat of water-resistant paint annually to protect the frame from rotting due to moisture exposure. Periodically inspect the roof to ensure the asphalt felt remains sealed and free of tears. Place the coop in a location with partial shade to prevent the interior from overheating during the summer months, and ensure the coop is placed on a dry, flat surface to prevent premature decay of the base wood.
