According to the dimensions of the laying hens' cages and the selected drawing, the material is cut. We prepare 4 bars 1407 mm long, 6 bars 1660 mm long, 4 bars 700 mm long. The ends of the wooden bar must be sanded with sandpaper or a grinding machine.
The frame is assembled from sawn wooden beams. To attach the frame, use galvanized screws - it is optimal to take two screws for each fastening corner. PAY ATTENTION! The frame can be additionally reinforced along the side walls with plywood corners - one fastener for each corner. In total, about 50 screws may be required.
A lattice flooring is installed under the cage frame. For this, a 20 x 40 mm bar with a length of 700 mm (7 pieces) is mainly used. The flooring is assembled in the same way as the frame. - one screw is screwed into each end of the bar.
In total, you will need 6 screws, but it is better to take with a reserve. Nails should not be used, since the block will simply crack when driving in the fastening component.
The lattice floor itself is made according to the portugal mobile database of the flooring area (1407 by 700 mm). The grid must be fastened with self-tapping screws with a wide head - one every 5 centimeters.
The front edge is bent to the shape of the tray. To make the floor stronger, you can install wooden bars as stiffeners. However, the wood must be treated with an antiseptic.
The back and side walls of the frame are sewn up with mesh. The sheet dimensions are 1660 by 1407 mm, plus 5-10 centimeters, since the edges will be bent. The edges of the mesh (if any) must be carefully bent.
The mesh is fastened using self-tapping screws with a wide head, using the same principle as in the case of installing the flooring.
The front wall is designed for the door. The door is also made from a 50 x 50 mm mesh. For the frame, you will need two 470 mm long bars and two 700 mm bars. We connect them together with screws (one fastener for each end, 4 pieces in total).
We stretch the mesh onto the finished frame - bend it along the edges and fasten it with wide-headed screws, one every 2-3 centimeters. You can use bolts to close the door.
Please note that you can also use a sheet of plywood for the back wall.
