    Great build nicely put together
    When I was building some outdoor flights a few years back when it came to creating access to the outdoor flights I used some cat flaps mounted upside down so that when the flap falls flat it creates a landing platform, being made of plastic they are very easy to clean also the cat flaps have a built in lock
