Sleeper & Woodchip Pack for Arch Houses
A special pack of Pressure Treated Sleeper-size Timbers cut to fit any 9ft long Arch Chicken Coop, Aviary or Pet House, along with 5 bags of hardwood woodchip.
Hardwood Woodchip is an excellent, hygienic, surface for the birds - almost self-cleaning. Just wash through with a garden hose if you haven't had any rain, refresh with new woodchip perhaps twice a year, and scatter some powder disinfectant over it once a month to keep it bacteria-free and fresh.
Much healthier than bare soil for the birds, and much less smelly too! Visit our information page on Using Hardwood Woodchip.
The packs contain a set of pressure-treated timbers (see Details tab) to create a raised plinth for your Arch House and the hardwood woodchip will create a perfect surface for hens or pets. Link here to see a pdf for The Arch Houses Sleeper Layout Plan.
For the Framebow Arch Houses - Max. external dimensions of the plinth frame: 3060mm long by 1600mm wide.
The Pack contains a set of pressure treated timbers, 10in x 5in (250mm x 125mm), to build a raised plinth for the Run frame to sit on.
Included are 5 bags of hardwood woodchip to create a clean, perfect surface inside the run area.
The Sleepers are cut to the lengths required to suit this layout. The max. length of any single sleeper is 4ft (1220mm), a detailed Layout Plan is included.
If you would like a copy of the layout plan which includes all exact dimensions please just email us. The sleepers (are as shown, softwood tanalised, not oak) will be cut to the lengths required and will come with an instruction plan to aid placement.
The woodchip can be placed directly onto the ground/grass, we do not recommend a geotextile underlay, mainly for reasons of hygiene as the 'poo' will not wash/drain through it but also hens or rabbits may dig it up.
