This document describes the assembly, usage, and maintenance of a Smoby chicken coop, model AAP2508B.

Function Description:

The Smoby chicken coop is designed as an outdoor enclosure for chickens, providing a secure and stable environment. It features a main coop structure with a nesting area, a ramp for access, and a secure door system. The coop is intended to offer a safe space for chickens, allowing them to lay eggs and be protected from external elements. It is explicitly stated that this item is not a toy and should be used under adult supervision.

Important Technical Specifications:

The chicken coop is constructed from various plastic and metal components, identified by letters (A-Z, AA-AG) and part numbers (e.g., 123013, S23006). Assembly requires tools not provided with the kit, and an estimated assembly time of 1 hour 30 minutes is indicated. The coop includes specific fasteners like screws (4.5x20, 6x20) and other connection elements. The overall dimensions and weight are not explicitly stated but can be inferred from the parts list and assembly diagrams. The structure is designed to be fixed to the ground for stability during use.
