Review on Spacious And Durable Galvanized Chicken Coop With Secure Walk-In Pen Run And Cover - The Perfect Home For Your Chickens by Lauralee Jensen

Great alternative for a Catio!

I purchased this coop to give my cat more space to roam in the backyard, but to keep him safe from the other critters that roam our neighborhood. It took my friend and I about 4.5 hours to build. Quick pros and cons:Pros- Both boxes delivered at the same time (make sure you get 2)- Pretty sturdy free standing structure- Simple and straight forward instructions (for the most part) as putting the frame together was easy.- Very large and plenty of room for cats to roam inside. The chicken wire also keeps larger leaves from falling into the coop.- Gives my cat safe outdoor timeCons- Do NOT use the zip ties given to you in the package. They're brittle and will break easily when exposed to the elements. My cat broke out of the coop many times because of this. I switched to extreme weather zip ties to combat this issue.- As many people mentioned before, the chicken wire is not pre cut to size. Most of our assembly time was spent on this step.- Chicken wire is very maleable. Which made it easy for my cat to escape out the bottom. I reenforced the base with more zip ties and the green wire that they provide in the supplies box. I wouldn’t recommend this coop if you plan on using with dogs or larger animals unless you purchase stronger chicken wire.- There is a gap between the door and the frame. If you have small cats, it could be easy for them to slip through. I used pipe insulator on the gaps to prevent this from happening.Overall, I’m happy with this coop. I had my trials and tribulations, but it was worth it considering the peace of mind it gives me for my cat. Just keep in mind the cons before purchasing and whether or not they might apply to you.
