Customer Reviews for VEVOR Large Metal Chicken Coop, 9.8x19.3x6.5 ft Walk-in Chicken Runs for Yard with Cover, Spire Roof Hen House with Security Lock for Outdoor and Backyard, Farm, Duck Rabbit Cage Poultry Pen

I read comments complaining about missing parts and difficult assembly. I had none of these problems.

We bought this for a second time because of the ease of assembly. We use these for shelter for our two steers and our goat/sheep flock, and we simply use large tarps to cover. They are lightweight, and work great to move from pasture to pasture.

The netting is 18-gauge wire with vinyl wrap. 1 unknown animal (likely a skunk) and my small dog tore a hole in it the first day it was built. Dog is 20 lbs. You will need to get a more secure style netting if you have any predator risk. The tube frame was easy to assemble and fairly intuitive. The instructions were fine. All in all, it is a quick and convenient way to build a pen for chickens, but some additional steps should be considered for animal security.

Super easy to put together, the wire could be a little stronger, otherwise I'm happy with my purchase and I did get 2 of these.

This is a great chicken run. My chickens free range in my backyard every day, however I can only let them free range when I can stand out in the yard with them the whole time to watch for hawks. I had a few close-calls so I decided I needed an additional, bigger run to let them hang out in while the hawks are lurking above. After reading many reviews of several chicken run options I chose this one. Unlike some of the other reviewers, my three boxes all arrived on the same day. They arrived several days prior to the expected delivery date. One of my sisters came one day to help me put the frame together. It took my sister and I about 2.5 hours to open and unpack the items and get the structure put together to include the frame for the door and the door. We felt we needed an extra hand to put the netting on. A few weeks later my 2 sisters came to help me put the netting up. I feel putting the netting up is definitely a three person job. We got the netting put up and affixed to the frame in a little under 3 hours. My advice for the netting is to have on hand extra zip ties and very strong scissors. The netting is metal and took effort to cut. I was able to use regular scissors but it would have been way easier to cut with heavy duty scissors. White zip ties do come with the package but I bought a 100 count package of several different sized black zip ties which I used in addition to the white ones that came with and I used many zip ties. Probably more than I really needed to. I also purchased a box of galvanized U-shaped garden stakes. I used about 4-6 garden stakes on each side just to make the structure more stable. I highly recommend doing that. My chickens are very happy using the run. I still let them free range, but this run is great to have when I cannot stand outside and guard them from predators. I definitely recommend this run and feel it is money well spent.

Though it takes additional zipties then what is supplied, but still worth purchasing.

my first successful vertical garden last summer after cordoning off with chicken wire. So why not extend and have easier access,for me at least. No more ground hogs, squirrels...harvesting before me.

Easy to assemble the frame. Rolling the wire on can be done alone, but it is easier with two people. The binding wire used on all the overlaps is a pain to work with, but take your time and do it right. It will need anchors for the frame to keep it from lifting up easily. The tarp is easy to secured and provides great shade and keeps the ground dry during afternoon showers. We mounted our coop to the side wall. We used 1/4inch staples all around the opening before cutting out hole for the door. Our ladies immediately gave it their seal of approval.

If you are not handy, than this is for you. Snapped together easily. Netting took a bit longer, but overall the easiest thing I have put together.

Good solid built product. Frame goes up fast but the door build and putting the wire on can be lengthy. Still a good product and does the job.
