DEStar 71” x 30” Foldable Outdoor Backyard Metal Coop Chicken Cage Enclosure Duck Rabbit Cat Crate Playpen Exercise Pen with Weather Proof Cover

The media could not be loaded. This little chicken area was assembled in about ten minutes. It was easy to move for two people. The size is perfect for our three bantam chickens and will keep them safe from hawks and eagles. They will only be in it for a few hours during the day since it is not adequate for full time use. They will have lots of fun this year and we can move it to various parts of the yard as needed!

I ordered this foldable outdoor metal coop because my 12 chickens quickly outgrew their little bin, and I hadn't finished their permanent coop yet. Setting it up was a bit confusing, and at first, I thought they had sent the wrong pieces. But after some time and effort, I finally figured it out, and it worked great.The coop is nice and sturdy, and I didn't have any issues with predators trying to get to my chickens. It provided a secure environment for them while I completed their actual coop. I also ordered a tarp to go underneath, which helped keep things clean and dry.

I received this yesterday and set it up after work today. My girls have been in a makeshift enclosure and it hasn’t been working well since they became fully fledged.The minute I put them in this pen, they seemed to relax and be at ease. I like that the stakes go all the way through the pen and into the ground to make it a lot sturdier. I set this pen up by myself in about ten minutes from opening the box to putting the shade on. The shade is a tad small for the one side, but it’s not a huge issue. It’s a really great little pen and will be a good addition to our coop (yet to be built!) I have four young hens presently and it seems to be plenty of room for them right now.EDIT: Spring and Summer have come through and my girls are almost fully grown! We attached the run to their coop when we got it built with lots of zip ties and I put construction cloth with metal stakes down around the perimeter of the run/coop to deter predators. The run itself has been really useful as extra room for the girls, but it’s not quite enough for them to feel comfortable in. The shade on top did NOT last- it got thoroughly shredded in the first hail storm we had and continued to disintegrate through the sun and rain of summer here in Colorado. The only other negative about the run I have is that the latches on the doors are not secure at all. My hens are often able to wiggle them open. When I see raccoons in the area, I put carabiners on the latches to prevent little hands from opening the doors.Overall impression: the cage itself is sturdy, pretty good through spring and summer storms (lots of hail/thunderstorms this year). Latches are loose, need to be more secure. The sun shade does not last, especially if you leave it on all of the time. Best to replace it ASAP with marine canvas. I am still glad I purchased this run, though!

The media could not be loaded. I got this for my stepmom for Mother’s Day. Several bits of the hardware are missing. She told me that if I could get some new hardware, mostly for the corner stakes, then we should be able to make it work. The directions told her several corner stakes should be included but they were not.I would like the seller to send my stepmom some corner stakes so the piece doesn’t fall apart. Otherwise will be returning soon if I am not reached out to.Great concept, flimsy and not functional as is.

The one page instructions weren’t instructions at all, but merely numbers on each part. Of which would have made sense, if the parts were actually numbered. We had to guess what part attached to which, and there being numerous pieces, the assembly was not easy or straightforward. A step by step manual or step by step instructional video would have been extremely helpful.

Love these! We bought 4 and will buy a couple more. We use them for our cats. We connect them to their catio - they love the space, easy to put up and very sturdy

Really good quality and strong. Pretty wort it

My pack didn’t come with instructions so it was awkward putting together and the paint coating on the metal bars were already chipped. Also the plastic shade wasn’t the best quality and my chickens ripped it the first day I had it on. For a temporary enclosure it works but I’m not using for much longer.
