We have put together a complete VSD Kit for the Automatic Door Opener to suit a FSF Maggie's Dozen Henhouse, so you can buy in one click and be sure that you have received all you need.

For the Maggie's Dozen the VSD will be fitted inside the henhouse, as show here in the image, and the door will rise inside (note: it will half-cover the heart window internally when open). The VSD unit will be mounted above the door, tight inside the apex. Click on 'watch the video' above.

For retro fitting there will be a small amount of carpentry required to alter the perch and mount the door. If ordering at the same time as the henhouse we will fit it for you free of charge.

Full details of how the VSD units work can be found on this page: VSD Door Openers.
If you want to give yourself more control over the opening or closing of the door, the VSD comes with a manual override system, which can be incorporated with an additional cable. Or if you find yourself dealing with a particularly rebellious hen who refuses to go in before dark, the Digital Battery Timer is the perfect way to fine tune your opening and closing times.

Kit contains:
VSD Door Opener
External Light Sensor Cable
VSD Lightweight Aluminium Door - medium
Mounting timbers (7)
FSF Instruction booklet plus special instructions for Maggie's Dozen fitting.

The Painting Service for Maggie's Dozen Henhouses, for both long legged and short legged versions, with 7 paint colour options for main body colour and also a colour choice for the accents of roof, legs and ramp bars.

As you would imagine, we've selected only the very best long-lasting, microporous Hen-friendly paint for the task of painting your Hen House (please note this does not include the painting of any wired runs that you may choose to go with your henhouse).

From a bold statement of style to the subtlest of traditional earthy tones, we hope you will agree that these classic heritage colour combinations are irresistible.

The paint we use, colour choice above, is from the Dulux Aquatech Range which are both micro-porous paints designed to last for many years of outdoor life. They give a highly flexible opaque finish which provides excellent resistance to peeling, flaking and blistering. They are quick drying and protect exterior wood for up to 6 years. We do also provide small pots of touch up paint with every hen house we paint.

We have tried to ensure the shades shown here are a true representation of the colour but often the colour you see will depend on the screen setting of your computer or iPad. If the colour required is crucial to your scheme please do just call us for paint sample to be sent, 01300 345229.

Please make your selection from the drop down boxes above, add to the shopping basket with the henhouse but please note, the painting service will add approx 2 weeks to the henhouse delivery time. Of course do mention when ordering if you have a required-by date in mind.
