MAGIC UNION 354”x118”x79”Chicken Cage Outdoor Pet Enclosure Large Chicken Run for Outside Fencing with Water-Resistant Cover Roof Backyard

I had an issue with a couple bent parts, but the seller sent us replacements.Once those came in assembly was quite simple, everything was very well marked. The only confusing part was the fencing but that is not on them, there is no "specific" way to do it... it depends on the person assembling it. We wrapped it around and then over the top.I really am happy with it, especially for the price point and my chickens love it too.I would definitely buy it again and recommend it.The seller has been very helpful.

It was pretty easy to assemble the frame; my kids (5, 7 and 8) and I did it together as a fun project. Because some of the pieces didn't have stickers with the part number, and others had worn off, we sorted out the pieces and checked them against the parts inventory in the instructions before we began. We found this helpful during the assembly. Some of the corner pieces had been damaged in shipping so the poles wouldn't fit inside them, but my hubby was able to hammer them round again just fine. Definitely be prepared with a rubber mallet.The instructions for building weren't the best, but we managed okay. (Step 2 was misleading in that the diagram showed more vertical supports than it actually has. The other steps showed the correct diagram. Also, the instructions lacked details on how to install the latches.) I noticed that in other reviews that some folks had trouble with putting the latches together, so I've included several photos of a properly installed latch with this review.Wrapping the frame in chicken wire was the most time consuming part of the assembly. You do have to be careful not to waste the wire, but with a little planning we actually had leftovers. We started with the sides and going up over the top first, then did the back (starting at the middle and working out to the corners) and finishing with the front. This is a different strategy than the instructions called for, but doing it this way we were able to use some of our scraps to cover smaller areas.Regarding the quality of the product: definitely wire mesh would have been better, but the hexagonal wire will work fine for us with few predators around. I would also recommend against using the tarp if it gets windy where you are... it would likely turn into a kite even if you did stake it down. Instead, we opted to put it in a place with partial shade from surrounding vegetation. It's a decent run for a small backyard flock; it was definitely the best one I could find at this price point. We're happy with it. Less than $200 (plus shipping) and voila! No more poop on the patio! (Chicken lovers, don't mind the hot chickens in the photos. It was 100 degrees out! The birds got some frozen berries as a treat shortly after the photo was taken and cooled down quite well.)

For the price it's adequate. The quality control needs to be addressed because some of the poles didn't lock into place. And the chicken wire is a poorer grade than you get at a "big box store", would have used welded wire, which I'll probably do at a later date. First 24 hrs had to watch my ducks til I found all the spots they were getting out at.

I am very disappointed in the quality of wire and hardware for this Chicken Run. The wire is very thin and it needed about 100 more zip ties to hold it together than came with it. The poles are poor grade metal and the entire Run is poorly made. The door was even defective, it wouldn't stay closed. For the money I thought I was getting a good quality Chicken Run. I would not advise anyone to buy this.

Be advised: you may need extra wire / hardware cloth and you will probably need extra zip ties.We bought this fenced-in run for our chickens. The frame was easy to assemble. The latching mechanism for the door could be improved. But for the cost and its size, this was the best product for us to purchase. The one issue we had was applying the chicken wire. We allowed for a few inches of overlap along each piece. Unfortunately by the end we had run out of chicken wire and didn't have enough for the door. So we ended up buying some extra hardware cloth with 1/4" holes to put on the door for extra protection. If you really scrimp on zip ties, you'll probably have enough, but we wanted that added security of lots of connection points. We ended up buying and using a couple extra packages (probably around 80 extra) of zip ties. We also get a lot of wind where we are, so we used duct tape along the tarp edge and created a few extra "grommet" holes to tie it down in more places. It took about 6 hours total to assemble. We are very happy with our purchase!

Easy to put together. Some of the holes did not line up very well and I needed to move the bar above the door so there wasn't such a large gap between the door and the bar. Also, the latches on the door leave something to be desired. However, with a little customization, it works great. I bought a white tarp to cover the entire roof. Also, instead of using the chicken wire that came with it, I used hardware cloth, to keep predators out.

This was definitely worth the price. People were saying they had to drill the holes but this was not the case with mine. Some were very tight fitting and had to use force to get to snap but that just makes it more sturdy. No its not super high quality but for price you cannot expect that. Awesome arrordable run.
