It took me two days to put this together by myself. It would have been easier with another person helping, but it was possible on my own. I found the directions lacking at first, but as I started trying to put it together it made more sense. I bought it under the rabbit title, but I believe it's identical to the chicken run, and we're using it for chickens after all. We bought an extension to fit our ten hens. It's pricey, but it seems sturdy so far - my toddler hasn't been able to knock it down for all of his trying!

I’ve had chickens for eight years now and they’ve been free range with the coop just outside my back door. It’s been great except the the massive amount of free-range poop my incontinent miniature velociraptors leave behind everywhere. Want to sunbathe? Poop on the grass. Want to walk into the shed? Poop on the ramp. Want to sit on the porch? Poop on the porch. Enough was enough. I build a “chickshaw” a la Justin Rhodes and set the ladies up in a run inside our fenced in garden area. I knew from the start I wanted an automatic door so I didn’t have to go way out there every morning an night to let them out, and did a ton of online research before settling on this one from Omlet, and so glad I did. Setup of the hardware was very easy, installation to a plywood backer was straight forward, and the programming was a piece of cake. I spent the first few nights checking the coop to make sure it all worked and every time the girls were nicely tucked away with the door closed. I also bought the coop light and did have some confusion trying to figure out the timing of the “night light” feature. It appears they light comes on AT close then the delay starts until the door closes as poised to coming on the specified time BEFORE the door closes. I still might not have that right but it isn’t a big deal at all, and when I do want to check on them in the dark it’s a handy feature to have. It’s only been about three weeks but so far I am very satisfied with the product and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Ive had this run a few weeks now and im thrilled with it. It was really quite easy to put together, the instructions were clear. My 2 pigs seem happy about the amount of space and im looking forward to being able to get extra bits to extend. The main positive for me is that im confident that theyre safe. My cat sadly wouldnt hesitate to try and play with my pigs and although i would never leave her out with them unsupervised, im confident she couldnt actually get in with them. Thanks omlet. Looking forward to ordering the little platform add on soon.

The best purchase for our cat ever! We have an indoor Ragdoll Cat. Since the installation of a cat flap, with an external tunnel leading to the Catio, we have seen an amazing change in her. She goes in and out when she pleases and loves playing in the Omlet Catio. We also added the Omlet Cat Tree with steps, picking posts and cat bridge. She loves it!

Well made, sturdy screws that are easy to screw into our clay soil. Does a great job holding firmly down any areas that may have some gaps. I don't think we have a flat spot anywhere on our property so these were definitely needed!

I've put herbs and various weeds into it so far and it works well. The girls go up and pull everything out. This wouldn't be a good option for small treats like pellets, corn, etc, only larger sized items such as the various greens.

Since we are moving a 13 foot run/coop, had to have the handles! They work great.

Easy enough to install, very sturd, and the girls love it!

The coop with 13 foot run was a great choice for our situation. We have four girls and it gives them more than enough room to chase each other around, fly, forage, play and relax. I feel very confident that they are completely safe from all predators and are warm and clean in the coop. The run works well on our uneven ground due to the amount of flexibility in the run skirt and we just screw down any gaps with the screws we purchased. The water and food feeders are large and well made. I can move the run by myself with a little effort. The girls will get a bit of a scare tomorrow morning being moved for for the first time to fresh grass :). Assemby was definitely work but my spouse and his daughter who is good at that kind of stuff got it together in a few hours with a couple of hiccups. The downsides? The ladder is adorable but completely useless for my chicks. They just end up flying in and out of the coop which was a bit traumatic for them the first few days. I suggest switching over to a long ramp with skids that they can waddle up and down instead. Another suggestion is using actual close up pictures in the instructions instead of the drawings for easier assembly. Overall we are very happy with the quality for the price!

We live in the mountains in Virginia and get some serious winds, rains and hot sun in the summers. Having the ability to shield my ladies from the worst of these elements as easily as undoing the hooks and moving it around is great. It is really well made and covers a good chunk of the run. My only complaint is, it would be really extra great if each side reached the ground. Right now I can put the rain/wind protection side all the way to the ground, and the other side goes down about half way. Having good protection all the way down on both sides would be helpful at keeping the worst of the elements completely out.
