#CHICKEN COOP DOOR MANUAL#
the door should be automatic but should also offer manual "open close" capabilities.the door should be "guillotine style" for compactness and efficiency (see picture above on right wall).it should use a rechargeable battery and should be equiped with a solar panel.the system should be self powered (no mains into the fields).These sensors are prone to "false detection" in case of bad weather (false night) or when illuminated by car headlights (false daylight).
