HITTITE Large Metal Chicken Coop with Run, 19.19 x 9.84 x 6.56 ft Walk in Poultry Cage Chicken Run Pen, Outdoor Chicken Runs for Yard with Waterproof & Anti-UV Cover

Exactly as advertised. Received in excellent condition and packaged perfectly. All parts were marked and directions were clear. Bought steel ties as well just in case, but they weren't necessary. The Pen seems sturdy and will be just right for the new flock. I recommend reinforcing the bottom of you're afraid of predators.

I have two grown peacocks in this cage and they are so happy in it. I did reinforce the netting with an added cover of metal fabric because I had a mountain lion break into a corner of the unit - but otherwise this coop is fantastic. Easy to assemble - I'm a 70 year old female and built it entirely on my own connecting it to an additional 10 foot cage so they have lots of room to roam. I put in a line of misters along the top for cool water to spray during our hot summers. The cover is a real asset as it fits perfectly and shades very well and also protects during rain. This cage is just excellent.

We purchased this because we were forced to re-home our roosters, after which I was the one guarding my girls when they free ranged.Likes: More room and grass for my girls to “free-range”, keeps them safe from hawks, sturdy, semi-easy construction.Dislikes: I do wish it was structurally more robust (we have big red tailed hawks) i.e., 1.5-2 inch poles of thicker metal, hardware cloth or fencing (see photo with larger red coop), and washers. Of course all this means more $$$It took my husband and I about 6 hours to build. Mostly due to all the zip ties. ZIP TIES UP THE YING YANG😵‍💫!!! Manufacturer did supply a good amount, but it wasn’t enough and we ended up getting more.I believe this chicken run is a good purchase.

The directions are very easy to follow as they are step-by-step picture directions. The only time you need to read the directions is when you’re assembling the door other than that it’s very straightforward. We had plenty of wire mesh and zip ties. The material seem strong and sturdy.

Not the easiest to setup, and not the highest quality, BUT for the price, it is an amazing purchase. It keeps the chickens in, it doesn’t look terrible, and it works as advertised. I would highly recommend for a low cost solution to keeping your birds safe.

Received the product on time, 2 boxes as expected. Used a wagon to transport to the setup location, suggest 2 people or something to help you move as they are heavy.Setup of the frame was extremely easy. Did not need 2 people (Although I am 6' and tall enough to reach center tall frame points. Everything clicked together quite easily, no issues with frame at all. Could tell it was not as flimsy as other products out there, the 1.25" and increased thickness will surely hold up better in what can be a windy south florida.Finding flat ground is going to be important for the frame to sit flat, however even on a slight uneven ground the frame still work perfectly.The two person job comes when you have to put on the chicken wire. As others have mentioned, this job takes longer than setting up the frame. Suggest to just get a few zip ties on each piece and after all chicken wire is up, go back and tighten up everything. Overall enough wire to wrap the entire frame, but you won't have much extra if any at all. Don't waste it during install.I did run into a slight issue during installation, however HITTITE was extremely responsive and was able to provide a solution to the issue. I can't stress enough how helpful HITTITE was to me during this process. Not only do they have a great product here that is easy to set up, but they clearly stand behind their product. It's nice to have your cake and eat it too!I would definitely recommend this product, i'm using it as a chicken run. Note the chicken wire is great to keep your chickens in, but will not keep predators out. If you have a predator area, suggest to reinforce areas with hardware cloth or other products.All in all very satisfied with the product and vendor!

Arrived in 3 days in a large, VERY heavy box. The tubing was well finished and burr free, easy to assemble and it becomes rigid once the wire is stretched into place over it. The included 1" hexagonal wire is good quality with a green PVC coating for longevity. Other reviewers claim this wire is cheap and useless, but it is no different than what you would buy at a feed store or Home Depot. A coyote, fox or racoon could probably chew through it, with some effort and a weasel or ring-trail cat could easily get through the 1" hex wiring. To keep out the smaller varmints, I wrapped my enclosure with 1/4 inch galvanized steel cloth and then went 2" beyond cage under the soil to prevent digging underneath. The combination of that, doubled with the 1" hex wire, should keep out any predators, except maybe a bear that could potentially lift up the poles from the bottom so make sure to anchor those down in multiple places with deeply set stakes. An electric wire would be the final step to keep bears away, should they be a problem. Must use steel zip ties instead of supplied plastic zip ties. I used the plastic zip ties to put the fence together and keep in place, while stretching over the corners. Once in place, then I used the stainless steel zip ties (which cost $10 on Amazon for 100 count). The gate area has gaps large enough for a skunk or weasel to squeeze through so make sure to strap in an extra pole to fill the gap, or have some extra hardware cloth to extend beyond the opening area and pin it down with a rod. Overall, this is good quality product and a much better value compared to what you see at Tractor Supply. Predator resistant, but predator proof as it arrives though, but it can be made that way with more reenforcing wire. I expect this enclosure will last for decades. It's well built.
