I've had two of these sitting in the boxes in my garage for a year. If I would have realized that they were that easy to assemble, I would have put them together a LONG time ago! Lol. I never put them together because I assumed that I would need a second person to help me. Maybe I'll tackle that project this evening after seeing this video.

Having just purchased one of these, I would caution users that a lot of them now are only 1 inch diameter pipes. I researched a whole bunch of them on Amazon and purchased one that specifically said the pipe diameter was 1.25 inches. When it arrived, it was only 1 inch pipe. This makes a HUGE difference in the strength of the frame. I was not happy. And a lot of these are not sold/shipped by Amazon, so getting refunds are not easy. I also see a lot that look like the same thing just different branding. After as short time from when I purchased mine (that was sold and shipped by Amazon which is why I choose it and that it was supposed to be 1.25 inch) it went Unavailable, so now any negative reviews (like mine) for the incorrect pipe diameter are just lost. And this same product will pop up under a different brand and continue the cycle of deception.

But I got plenty of recycled tubes for another project that can work for the chicken coop-run and I already have the wire, just need to find the connectors. I will need to have some wood walls (corner) to give the chickens climate protection and a covered roof as well. Suscribed!

We own the same chicken Run (coop or whatever you want to call it.) The design has changed quite a bit, especially the door area. They cheapened it dramatically. Set the entire thing up yesterday, but doing the wire now. They don’t give you wire that’s tall enough. The bottom length, is 45” tall. The wire, is only 41” tall. So I’m guessing you need to stretch the wire in the process. Anyways, assembling this thing now. Will update when I get it finished. Heck, might start my own video shortly lol.

You're lucky with all functional pieces, I'm jealous. My kit had one button connection that was a full inch off from the hole it was supposed to go in (or the other way around, one of them was wrong). I had to duck tape that joint. And our door hinges were bent almost closed and we had to open them up to get them over the bars. Its also really difficult to assemble and use if you dont have flat and level ground. We made a couple adjustments. We wrapped from the bar down all the way around with hardware cloth over the chicken wire (in hindsight, I wouldn't have bothered with the chicken wire at all), as well as both tall end walls to protect from predators (high pressure area), burying the hardware cloth a foot all the way around, and we switched out the thin tarp they sent with a standard tarp to cover the whole run since we live in a rainy area. It keeps the girls in and predators out, but we had a problem with small birds coming in (eating the chicken feed, stressing out the chickens, and leaving behind a problem with depluming mites). Its serving its purpose for now, with a lot of extra money spent to make it work. We needed something that would go up pretty fast and easy in a pinch to get us through until we can do better, but I'd have to really be in a serious pinch to buy it again. Just hoping for lumber prices to drop. Looks like your situation is different than mine, I hope this works out well for you. Its a heck of a deal if it does.

This is not actually a coop but a run. I'm wondering how difficult it would be to secure 2 × 4 in welded wire around the base. Seems like anything that wants to get in during the day could with wimpy chicken wire the kit provides. A separate coop is necessary for night time security. At least here in New England and for my level of risk/loss aversion. Ah, just got to the end of the video to the electric fence part of the security. May make a world of difference.

I like this idea to enclose my raised beds to protect them from the moose. My worry was how sturdy this structure would be, but when you added that scrap wood to the sides, I THINK this would give it some additional strength. We wouldn't even necessarily need the netting; maybe just on the door. Moose would not be able to get between the pieces of wood and when they come upon an obstruction, they move on. I have to think about it a bit more, but I'm warming to the idea.

Is the chicken wire mesh 1” or 2 “? I’m wondering if I get the longest one if I can build a second door in the middle - I’m guessing I can figure something out - mainly so my cheap self doesn’t have to buy two to separate chickens. They mainly free range but I would like to be able to separate a pen for chicks coming out of the brooder, breeding pairs or to all some of my broody hens to have a sage space to raise their own chicks. I’m thinking about the dome one because if I love it maybe I could have a second one to keep chickens out of my plants, put a shade cloth on top. Thanks for the video Ian’s replies I thought about cheaper brands but I saw you did not have the same success with those.

While this would work for some dogs, for large dogs I would recommend upgrading the chicken wire to heavier chain link since the chicken wire is so thin. Another thing to keep in mind is that most dogs would have no problem digging out of that run. Maybe just don't rely on something like this to keep your dog secure unless you really trust your dog! Hope this is helpful.

@@livvygrossmann6004 that would be a great idea for tiny dogs. And if you line the inside edges with hardware cloth, it would make it harder for the dogs to dig out.

It has not moved at all for us. We put a big piece of metal on one side of the roof and the wind has not bothered it at all. If you want, You could bend a few pieces of rebar and use them like giant tent stakes. Pound them in over the bottom tubes.

I want to use half of this as a tractor. Can i do that? Or does the roof running horizontal come in one piece? Ty!

You can get a smaller size. This one has to be fully built out as is.

how tall are the bottom vertical poles, before the roof slant starts? The number 3 poles? I'm thinking to make a real coop it would be easy to use this just as a frame and line it with plywood or PVC panels

They are about 48" tall.

Any tarp from a hardware store will work. The tarp they give you is not good quality.

Hey there, we just bought this kinda coop… we are putting it together and are unsure on how to put wire in between the run and the door? There’s a gap big enough that rats could come through.

There are a lot of gaps in this coop that many predators can get through. I have an electric fence around mine for protection.

Great video. I ordered the same coop from your Amazon link and it was "damaged during shipment " 3 times never came to my door. Amazon and the company LKF gave me a hard time just to get my refund. That being said the company VEVOR sells these chicken runs and they arrive in 3 days. Good luck and thank you ! I recommend the Vevor run for anyone reading this

@CountryLivingExperience 11 ай бұрын

Thanks. That sounds like an Amazon problem. Mine arrived undamaged and in a proper amount of time. Mine was not LKF but a seller called Polar Aurora. Vevor stole this very video and edited it to use on their facebook page. Watch out for that company.

Maybe. There is some space at the bottom. You could just extend the wire so it overlaps the bottom by a few inches.

I just order a new coop like yours for my chickens. My dogs eat the chicks when they escape. Are the holes in the wire small enough where they can get out or am I going to have to add more wires

There are no holes that are small enough for them to get out but a dog could easily dig underneath. I put an electric fence around mine to keep my dog out.

If a dog or coyote really wanted to get in. I don't think the mess is strong enough to keep them out, especially a big dog. I'm going to put chicken wire over the mesh on the sides to keep that from happening.

@DaltonGang2013 Жыл бұрын

We have the same exact one and just put it up. We haven't finished it because we can't figure out how to do the front and back with the amount of wire left. It's too short to reach the peak in the center when stretching it horizontally and too narrow stretching it vertically. Hope you can offer suggestions. But yes, the instructions go clear off the rails when it gets to the wire...🤦🏻‍♀️

Has anyone had success using this as a dog run? We live in the city and don't have chickens but we do have an old school slat style fence around our backyard and my dogs are constantly getting out. This just might be the perfect solution for them to get some sun and fresh air.

@Thearin6664 2 жыл бұрын

No. Do not use this for dogs, dogs will get through the chicken wire. You need a dog lot with chain link fencing. You can get them alot of different places. Tractor supply, pet smart etc. Just do a few searches you will find one locally. Maybe even one used.
