can this be installed inside out? I'm building a chicken coop and need to be able to open the window from outside.

Absolutely. I did the same thing on my chicken coop. It's awesome adjusting it from the outside. Just make sure to use screws that aren't too long for whatever material your walls are. I just have T1-11 panels and I used screws that were about 5/8" and it was perfect. Just add some trim around the edges and it looks great.

Yes it can. It took m}e hours to train my chickens how to work the lock. :)

I've installed these on my chicken coop, but installed as designed. I added quarter inch galvanized fencing over the screen to deter preditors. The window may sash is made to resist water by covering the the water path with the upper pane. It will work, but may allow dirt and may leak a bit by virtue of its manufacture to defect water outside in the normal configuration. I adjust windows only seasonally. Twice a year, not too much more. Chickens are tough.

I think it could be put in just about anything. It's pretty simple. you're just installing a window. Look at the directions. If you think you can do it, then, do it.

No, this unit needs to be inside, out of the weather. The string would be in the way of the chickens. I use mine to raise and lower the door on the inside.

No, I think that you wouldn't be able to use this unit, with the glass door for a window. There is a hose and a fixture that is suppose to go in an actual window.

There is an opening on one end of the run. It's so it can be attached to the coop. There is also a door near the opened area. This does send you with instructions how to build it, but you might be able to adjust the way you build it.

It seems like you'd have to have the motor on the outside of the coop to do that and then the string would be in the middle of the walkway - so don't know how that would actually work. Mine goes up and down inside the coop - doesn't become the walkway.

Ya know Adam I have thought about it and you could change spec's it would alter the ramp in the coop, ramp would be against the coop door. If you turn that coop door upside down and change the house side from left to right. You may have to drill some new holes to get things to work and reverse panels so the coops roof aligns. I think it would work, I have built 2 and you could always sell it on craigs list if it doesn't work. The ramps on a hinge so you can raise and lower if its in the way. If you lay it out first see if it lines up. Heck the price is right I paid $50 more for it. Oh ya gotta let me know. Where theres a will theres a way. How exciting changing things up, Good luck Adam.

I have mine Inside with my window hold it in place. So it all depends on how your windows are built, not all windows are the same.

Depends......the entire unit is made of a heavy material that make it impossible to see in or out......however the front and side windows have flaps that can be folded down to let fresh air in......which can be seen through from inside to outside.....and if opened at night.....can be seen through from the outside into the RV I love mine

My husband seems to think you could. Ours is in our window, year round. It is too heavy for us to remove every winter. You would need good support on the outside wall. There is only about 3-4 inches inside and the rest is outside.

Definitely not as the frame of the construction has to be resting on the outside of the door frame. So it would not be possible to open the door if it was mounted this way.

Installed from inside the room in a window, yes. And its,very simple to install, lightweight too

We installed on a door that swings inside. Not sure why you would need to install outside.

You can set it so that the interior doors won't set it off. Yes. And the windows can be open, yes. Make sure that you can get your money back in case you can't get it to work for your home. I feel it works for smaller homes better. And you have to play with the sensitivity a bit to get it right but it should be worth it.

you can supposably mount this unit in the window with the supplied screws, but I specially made a removable shelf so when winter comes around it would be an easy uninstall process. Otherwise I would suggest putting 2 L-brackets under the back of the unit for added support.

You would have to attach the box to a wooden frame and then attach a door you can open that closes on to the frame. If you do this, add a spring lock to the door that opens onto the frame so that no raccoons or predators can get in...as they will try. You would not want to attach the boxes to a door that opens as a hen could be in one when you open and get trained to not use the box in fear if the box swings. That said, if you do not want to attach the box to a wooden frame that's open, it's actually easy to walk into the coop and get the eggs from the front for me--depending on your coop configuration.

Hmm, not sure. I guess it would depend if your window opening was big enough. if it was you may be able to mount it sideways. The fan must be mounted to the window frame with screws. maybe you can contact the company and ask them.
