What happens here

The host positions the assembled door frame against the chicken coop's wire mesh. He carefully identifies the sections of wire that need to be cut away to accommodate the door opening. He uses wire cutters to remove the necessary mesh, bending the cut ends back to ensure they are flush and do not pose a hazard to the chickens. He emphasizes the importance of making precise cuts for safety and proper fit. He then secures the wooden frame to the coop's existing posts using deck screws, ensuring it is stable and level.

Goal: The assembled door frame is integrated into the existing chicken coop, requiring minor modifications to the coop's wire mesh and securing the frame in place.

nice snug is a bug now we've got to take staples and staple our wire into place right here you're gonna laugh but all I have is electrical staples so we'll staple our wire down up against the chicken coop like it should be and then we'll install the electronics so the next step that I'm going to have to make is a mounting plate and we cut another 1 foot board right here and we're just gonna screw that to the top of the outside of the chicken run here there we go now that is nice and secure and we'll have a mounting point to mount our chicken guard here's where you have to get out your owner's manual and you basically DoubleTap right here and you set all your limits so what we'll do is run the string all the way out and we'll tie on and then we'll set our limits to what is open and what is closed Center it over top of the door and zip some screws in again it's a chicken coop not the Taj Mahal but you want to be proud of your work and you want to be able to access this easily so if you need to change the batteries out you just undo four screws and swap out the batteries I'm curious about how long the batteries
