We have put together a complete VSB 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 VSB 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) and the VSB 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 VSB units work can be found on this page VSB Door Openers. If you require more control of the VSB you could consider a Digital Battery Timer to control the opening or closing of the door, select from tick box above, or for more information this link will take you to the Digital Battery Timer.

Kit contains:
VSB Door Opener internal (with light sensor cable)
VSB 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 and we would expect to deliver to you within 3 weeks of ordering. Of course do mention when ordering if you have a required-by date in mind.
