HITTITE Large Metal Chicken Coop with Run, 12.8 x 9.84 x 6.56 ft Walk in Poultry Cage Chicken Run Pen, Outdoor Chicken Runs for Yard with Waterproof & Anti-UV Cover

So far so good!!! Let me start by saying I had no idea these were even a thing. My husband stumbled upon this while looking up chicken run door ideas as he had already started a run. This thing is a game changer. So easy to put together the instructions are clear and easy to follow. My husband did the chicken wire himself. Very good size and will hold a bunch of chickens. We have reinforced it oilfield course with 2 more layers of hardware cloth because the chicken wore it came with isn’t going to keep anything out which we didn’t expect it to when we bought it. But it’s a good base layer to attach more wire to. They came with a bunch of zip ties which we have used a lot but we are afraid of how well they will old up over time so have also been using metal zip ties and metal wire as we wrap additional wire. It seems pretty study we haven’t secured i to the ground and with all the additional wire we’ve added I think it will be ok. This is a great run I mean as far as we can tell haven’t actually put the chickens in it yet but the bones of it and functionality of it are exactly what we were looking for!!!

It's chicken wire, so you know you need hardware cloth too. This just stops the birds from flying away. I got a 4' sheet or hardware cloth to add to this after. I bent it in half so i have 2 feet up the side and 2 feet out to prevent digging. So far, so good. We've had racoons, coyotes, and who knows what else investigate the birds, but no attempts.Rails are easy to put together, click in place. It's not the sturdiest thing in the world. A bear could crush it, but it probably could most things if it wanted to.Gate locks closed good.The wire is a pain to work with, as expected. Lots of sharp edges to make safe after trimming.

Amazing frame, went together in under 30 min with one person assembling, door is a little goofy, weld on one side and mount on the other when welded mounting would have been better all the way around. Wire was more solid than I expected, the attachment with hundreds of zip ties was not a great experience. Hours trying to insure I followed the instructions, thankfully they did put a YouTube assembly video which helped figure out what the diagram ment. Small tent stacks for the legs that I’ve yet to add, if the wind is hard enough to move the structure the stacks don’t seem hardy enough to make a difference. The price is the real high point for this unit and the poles seem to be quality thickness, the box was beat up but the contents was perfect, considering the weight of the box I’m sure it doesn’t ship all that well. (For the delivery drivers and processors) I’m sure I’ll upgrade the netting at some point. But definitely a start.

Super easy for a woman to assemble.15 minutes to read instructions and separate parts10 minutes to snap together1 hour to attach chicken wire without help & extra zip ties. It came with plenty but I wanted it to fit snug all the way around. Make sure you follow the direction of the chicken wire on the manual or you won't have enough. Put hardware cloth around the bottom & under the sides at least for more protection.The only thing I don't really like is the door latch. I use concrete blocks to make sure nothing can push/pull it open when I'm not around. It's sturdy, lightweight to move with 2 people.

Very sturdy, but you should plan on adding a predator apron if you live in an area with foxes, coyotes, etc. About 2 weeks after mine was installed, foxes squeezed under the bottom and killed all four of my chickens. Since adding the apron, the chicken shelter has worked perfectly; the gate is very secure, chickens can't slip between the gate and the frame (not sure how it would be with chicks) and nothing has been able to penetrate the 'walls'. I wish it were a bit larger because it feels cramped with the coop inside it. The guys who put it together for me said a lot of people put enclosures like this on concrete blocks to raise it up. I am only 5'1" and still have to duck when walking around the coop, so I should have listened to their advice. Despite that, I feel like my chickens are secure in the enclosure and that it was a good purchase.

Very great product will be ordering more for other future pens! Very easy to put together everything is labeled. Lots of extra wire left over to spare and also lots of zip ties left over. Shipping was very fast. Took 2 hours for me and a buddy to put together. Will deter animals but if they really want in they will have no issue getting in but I put a self closing coop door on for night time protection. Great product for the price!

Used as a chicken run. Very easy to put together. Instructions were well detailed yet simple. Good value for your money. Only downside would be a little bigger opening with the door and surrounding structure.

Held together by zipties. Otherwise decent.
