Put Back Wall Hardware Cloth On & Middle Legs On So you need to paint it whatever color you want first.
It is important to do this before you put any of the hardware cloth on or it makes a tacky mess. Painting The Basic FrameĪt this point you are going to want to paint the part of the frame you have put together so far. Once you have them all attached now it is time for the next step.
QUAIL COOP HOW TO
That was how Chris from Slightly Rednecked showed how to do this step in his YouTube video as well. With the second (hutch roof) rectangle sitting on all those clamps it was pretty simple to just go around and screw them all to the legs. Then I put clamps at the next mark (18 inches higher) and set the hutch roof rectangle parameter on those clamps as I show in the above picture. Attach The Floor & Roof Parameters To The Legs That is where the bottom of the quail hutch roof parameter frame will sit that we will talk about in the next section. Then on each of the legs (both front and back legs) measure from your three foot mark up exactly 18 inches more and mark it. This is where the bottom of the quail hutch floor parameter frame will sit that we will talk about in the next section, so accuracy is important. Once these are all cut to size you need to measure from the bottom of each leg (both front and back legs) up to exactly 3 feet (36 inches) and mark it.
These will be your extra rafter supports that you will need two for the front and two for the back of your hutch (you can cut these out of some of the small boards leftover after your previous cuts). Then cut three more three inches shorter (so 69 inches) for the three back legs.įor the extra rafter supports you will need to cut two 2x4s 18 inches long and two 15 inches long. You will need to cut three 2×4 boards down to exactly 72 inches (6 feet) for the front legs. I recommend cutting all these with a miter saw so each of your cuts are as square as possible. If you watch the video and then read this article, this article should fill in some missing details for you that will be helpful. The video below is one I did for my Emergency Prep Guy YouTube channel showing the building process. I am writing this article from personal experience. I will keep it as brief and to the point as possible to make the process simple. My version has a built in feeder I designed that is different from Slightly Rednecked’s hutch, so I will go into all those details as well. In this article I am going to go over the building of this quail hutch and fill in the important details you will need to know to save you time wasted by mistakes. To build this quail hutch is quite simple. The reason I chose the design from Chris at the “Slightly Rednecked” YouTube channel, is because it offered quite a bit of space for the birds and a chance for them to get off the wire when they wish to. When thinking about building a quail hutch there are many different designs out there to choose from.
