I ordered mine with a dome roof, going to use hardware cloth and a bigger tarp, I cant wait! Thanks for the great video! I love how well built this turned out!
Good job. I would put hardware cloth all around it, too. Raccoons and such can reach through those holes. I would also put extra hardware cloth along all the door cracks to keep snakes from coming in.
Hello. That's a great idea for a coop and run. I'd be concerned about the mesh around the entire structure. Sure, it'll keep the chickens in, but it won't keep predators out. I'm using a 10x20 of these as a run and I added a 2ft 1/2in hardware cloth skirt around the edges and 4ft 1/4in hardware cloth around the side and door. Then I added chicken wire on the slopes and then the green mesh all the way around. I'm not 100% if this will keep a desperate animal out, but it will definitely give them a run for their money of trying. Hope your chicks stay safe and thanks for the video.
Thank you for that info! We’ve had our chickens set up like this for about 9 years & don’t seem to have any predators around except hawks thankfully! We’re also putting up more fencing in the area.

I'd put a skirt of fence around it. A lot of critters dig under
Great design, Thanks for sharing
Got the link for the ones you ordered?
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 should be able to! They have smaller sizes available too
Can a kennel gate like this be reinforced to protect from bears?
What keeps a predator from digging under the run/coop?
We have another fence around & a stray dog that has taken it upon herself to watch all our farm animals & protect them
