Below is a rough step-by-step guide to support construction. <\/p><h5 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Step 1 \u2013 Base Structure<\/h5><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Assemble the base from eight 48\u00d748 mm battens (L=330 mm) and two plywood sheets (1470\u00d7350 mm, T=12 mm). The battens form a platform that keeps the cabinet off the ground. <\/p><h5 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Step 2 \u2013 Partition Walls<\/h5><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Attach partition walls (2\u00d7 plywood 500\u00d7350 mm and 2\u00d7 plywood 500\u00d7335 mm) so that there is clearance for control cables. Check cable opening locations from the drawing before attachment. <\/p><h5 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Step 3 \u2013 Side Walls<\/h5><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Assemble side walls from two 524\u00d7566 mm plywood sheets and four 98\u00d748 mm battens (L=1050 mm). The battens serve as support framing for the side walls. <\/p><h5 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Step 4 \u2013 Hatches<\/h5><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Attach three hatches (500\u00d7465 mm, T=12 mm) with hinges. Use screws no longer than 12 mm at hinges. Hinge locations can be found in the detail view of the drawing.  <\/p><h5 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Step 5 \u2013 Lid and Frame<\/h5><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Assemble the lid frame from two 48\u00d748 mm battens (L=650 mm) and one batten (48\u00d748 mm, L=1340 mm). Attach plywood cover (1438\u00d7450 mm, T=12 mm). You can adjust this measurement to fit your cabinet if needed.  <\/p><h5 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Step 6\u20138 \u2013 Gas Spring and Lid<\/h5><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Install the gas spring using angle brackets so that it supports the lid open during filling. Check gas spring installation details from the drawing \u2013 the correct mounting angle is important for functionality. <\/p><h5 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Step 9\u201310 \u2013 HayTime Controller Installation<\/h5><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Attach the HayTime controller to the bracket in the cabinet. Connect cables to the three locks (2\u00d7 1 m cable, 1\u00d7 0.5 m cable). The controller is programmed in the HayTime app \u2013 download the app and follow the setup instructions.  <\/p><h4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Model with Hay Trough: Additional Steps (steps 11\u201314)<\/h4><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Build the trough from additional parts: two plywood sheets (1470\u00d7400 mm and 1470\u00d7430 mm), two end panels (418\u00d7400 mm), and support beams. The trough is attached to the front of the cabinet so that hay falling from the hatches is directed into it. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19e0d46 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"19e0d46\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d740a18 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d740a18\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.haytime.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image_500x500.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12420\" alt=\"Vinkki HayTime-hein\u00e4kaapin rakentamiseen\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.haytime.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image_500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/www.haytime.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image_500x500-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.haytime.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image_500x500-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.haytime.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image_500x500-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Tip for building the hay cabinet: Attach a cord to the hatch to make closing the hatch easier.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-820aaa0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"820aaa0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd65b26 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fd65b26\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">Did You Build the Cabinet?<\/h4><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">We want to see it!
