Fair price for a decent product

We are happy with the product. I thought it was fairly easy to assemble, except the door took a few tries. You will need extra zip ties and will need to reinforce the bottom to protect your livestock from predators. A fisher cat tried to attack our chickens and was not able to get in. I waited a few months to make a review because I wanted to make sure it stayed sturdy, but we have had no problems. So far it has been able to withstand a sticky snow storm, a tornado watch and a few hurricane-like storms. I think the price is fair for the product. A few poles in the box were dented or bent but it didnt effect the integrity of the structure. My chickens are very happy.
I like this so much I bought two. Easy to assemble. It is a light to medium weight kennel. We bought one for our chickens and liked it so much we bought another for our turkeys. Two small coops (sized for 4 chickens) fit inside with plenty of room left for them to roam on the days we can¡¯t let them free range. For the turkeys we added heavy duty tarps to weatherproof and insulate for nighttime housing (they are free range daytime). Depending on your predator type and population, extra wire and blocking at the bottom will secure it better. The chicken wire provided is coated and easier to work with than uncoated wire. One complaint is the zip ties, which are light and easily broken. I suggest at least supplementing with some heavier duty ties or cage clips.
This is solely for sleeping, being safe and locked up at night. Chickens should free range. Between buying the supplies, tools and painting/staining to help it last longer and time to make it's a great price for 1-4 chickens. To sleep in only, at dusk of course.

Just set up my coop, so no chickens yet. A little on the small side but good for the price. Assembly was fairly easy but they left out directions for the #17 pieces. Once you get the entire thing put together its pretty obvious where they go. I love it and may actually buy another for quail sometime! I think with a few reinforcements this will make a great home for my girls.
