Customer Reviews for VEVOR Large Metal Chicken Coop with Run, Walk in Chicken Run for Yard with Waterproof Cover, Outdoor Poultry Cage Hen House, 19.3x9.8x6.5ft Large Space for Duck Coops and Rabbit Runs, Silver

We purchased 8 chicks, and they are growing much faster than expected. We live on the marsh, where there are many predators - raccoons, hawks, bobcats, coyotes, other dogs, and cats. As much as we want to free range, we do not wish to be "winner, winner, chicken dinner" for all of the animal kingdom. Enter the 18' x 10' run. It was a great price, so we ordered it, and it arrived quickly from the seller. We started assembling it, only to discover a key part was missing. I contacted the seller and they dispatched it right away. The seller is amazing and I would do business with them again. It is roomy and perfect for my 7 hens and one rooster. We will be adding a proper coop to the end with no door. Currently, what they are in can easily be placed in the coop to keep them safe at night.

At the end of that boardwalk is this lovely coop! Our newest family member is an indoor outdoor cat and we didn’t want to force her to stay inside (busy roads nearby).

This is a pretty good enclosure. It could be a foot higher on each side. I have a wood coop inside and it was almost too high for the enclosure. Didn't like the hinges or the tie straps. The hinges were very hard to tighten and when tightened them the bar crushed. I took straps of rubber and wrapped the area where the hinges would go and it made it a lot easier. The tie straps are just too light duty and break when you tighten them. I went to the auto parts store and bought green 80 lb. tie straps and they worked great and matched the chicken wire. I read reviews where users stated that the wire was plastic. It is not. It is standard chicken wire coated with green plastic and looks great. The tarp supplied is awful. It covers about a 3rd of the enclosure and water leaks through it. I ordered a 14X14 foot white tarp for Amazon and it works great and lets light in. All in all I was happy with the enclosure.

I am very happy with this run! I put it together myself, start to finish, in about 4.5 hours. I used a tarp for the top rather than the one that came with it and will probably purchase different door hardware. The hardware it comes with just doesn't work smoothly enough for what I would like.

This chicken run was super easy for two people (hubby and I) to put together. I did have hog ring pliers which made connecting the chicken wire together much easier and a more solid set up. I added two feet of hardwire over the chicken wire at the bottom to prevent predators from chewing through and a two foot skirt of hardwire to keep animals from digging under. I love my chickens and want to keep them happy and safe!

We replaced the plastic netting with real chicken wire for more security. Overall, this is a nice chicken run. Instructions are for three different models so you need to make sure you are following the one you bought.

This is a great structure. I wanted something to protect my vegetable plants I bought this and built my raised garden inside it. It is working out wonderfully, keeps unwanted creatures out of my gardens and I realize that I can tarp it with plastic in the spring and start gardening even earlier

Excellent construction. Easy to assemble! Highly recommend

We love the chicken run area it was a great space we do have 11 chickens inside of it with their and they have plenty of space to move around and be there the way they want to be we will be adding a second one to it so that we can expand as our chickens get a little bigger the downside the only thing I didn't like about it was that the fencing around it the green netting is very very thin and not as sturdy as I had hoped and I wish it had more support across the roof because when it rains the tarp that covers it does tend to droop and build up water so those are my two changes I would make other than that I completely recommend it is a great for an awesome price

I purchased this to contain our chickens. We’ve only had it up for a short time but it seems relatively sturdy, curious to see how it holds up over winter with the weight of snow on it. I was able to assemble this on my own, minimal tools needed. The hardest part for me was reaching the top because I’m only 5’4”, but if I stretched I could just manage it. I’d advise having a slightly taller person on hand. Chickens took a little time to get used to it but they seem to be content with it’s size. We have an actual coop attached for additional shelter and some perches inside as well. So far, I’d be willing to purchase this again. I also bought one directly from Vevor. I would have purchased from them again but it was out of stock with them. Everything comes in one, manageable box which was nice too. Directions were so-so but it’s not hard to figure out, except for the wire they sent along. It’s just several feet of wire and I can’t find anything in the directions that tell you want to do with it so we just threw it in the garage. I also haven’t had any experience/issues with predators where we live. If you live somewhere that you run the risk of something breaking in and killing the birds, don’t buy this. It’s made with thin, plastic coated wire and it can be broken relatively easily. If predators are a concern, you definitely don’t want this.
