Good thick plastic cover; I bought it to replace the one I already had because some of the eyelets had torn away from the plastic and had gone very rusty. Apart from that small problem I have been very pleased with it.

I bought this immediately after constructing the Eglu Go with the standard run. With the standard run the set-up looked too small, the run extension made a massive difference - looks like it doubles the amount of space because it's wide. I'd add more if I could but I've run out of space!

Eglu Go is as expected. I have it with the run extension so total length is 3m for 2 pekins and 2 wyandotte bantams. Plenty of space, looks good and easy to keep clean. The run would be much easier to access and clean if there was some sort of hatch through the roof.

We did lots of research and are pleased with our choice. The coop is large and easily accessible to clean, the run is a great size (with 1 m extension) and easy to reach inside to change food etc. The kids can also sit inside with our 4 bantams when they are free ranging. We have used the omlet edging to go round it which fits perfectly. It was a bit tricky to put together as we got a bit confused on which way the run went on - instructions not great - but using photos helped!

Once assembled the eglu go is fantastic! It looks good and is the coop is easy to clean. Our chickens love it and we love watching them enjoying their new home. However, it does need a few improvements in my opinion: 1. The run doesn't easily attach to the coop because of the curved roof, as a result we have slightly scratched the coop trying to put it together. 2. The door to the run is very small! This is mostly a problem when I go in at night to poo pick, I have to try and squeeze through the hole to get to the end of the run (and I'm very petite). I can see it being a real pain in about 6 months time when I have to clean out the whole of the run floor.

Certainly helps to protect the hens from the wet weather whilst still allowing light into the run - would be better perhaps if it came down to the ground both sides with the ability for one side to be rolled up during dry weather (although I suppose you could buy two covers and put one on inside out) . Also could do with different lengths to take into account run extensions which most people with more than two hens most probably have.

The human's love it, the chicken's look like they love it! thanks for a great produce but a little too pricy.

Easy to use. Added it to my go up to give my chucks a bit of extra space. The little clips are fairly easy to use and it all seems pest proof. Maybe on the pricey side but I still paid it didn't i?!

Can't fault quality and design but the run factory and the Eglu factory really should talk about the shape the run needs to be to fit the top of the Eglu. This is a flat and a continual curve when it actually needs to be a three stage curve to fit the Eglu which makes assembly a pain as the roof panels then don't line up. I have built 6 now and this has been a problem on all that almost double the time it needs to put the run together.

We have four chickens in our Eglu and they are very happy in it. It looks great in the garden and it is extremely practical. It is very easy to empty the dropping trays every few days. Just carried out the first big clean and it is designed so well that the 'poop' cleaned off very easily and the water drains away through the drainage holes. It is easy to take apart and access for cleaning. We have a big fox population here so we also pegged down the skirt of the cage. The cage is easy to move (once you have located the additional pegs in the skirt through the now longer grass) as we have to regularly move the coop as the run gets very muddy due to our heavy clay soil. Still trying to deal with that issue in the best way, but that isn't a reflection on the Eglu itself. The delivery and assembly by Omlet was first rate and I'm glad I didn't have to assemble it myself as it would have taken at least half a day plus the usual bickering that accompanies self assembly items! Just as an aside, I hadn't realised how relaxing watch chickens is. I now spend longer relaxing in the garden then I ever did just watching them and listening to their contented clucks.
