Just assembled our new cube house. Took me much longer than the two hours stated. You can tell it's a quality product and very sturdy. It's quite simplistic design should see it lasting a good many years before any problems arise. The cube house is not much good without at least one possibly two extensions which boosts the price up that much, that this house is fantastic for the chickens but it is very difficult to justify the total cost. Saying that you know the price before you buy and what you get is probably the best chicken house you can buy.

The product is a great idea, BUT NEEDS SOME SERIOUS IMPROVEMENTS as not cheap. The plastic is heavy and needs to be secured quite firmly especially if its intention is to buffer hens from wind and rain, but it stretches and all too soon separates from the eyelets and consequently rips! I was advised by Omlet to loosen the ties, although they sent 2 replacements FOC, but they make an awful flapping noise, which had all my girls run back into the Cube and not venture out...for 2 days! PLEASE make improvements as could be a great product

Using an electric battery powered drill makes these simple to use even for those with grip problems. The ability to stow the adapter in the cube cage means it should never get lost if it's out of reach of your chooks!

Our land isn't flat, not a problem with the Eglu Cube as we don't have a run and free range our chickens, but for the guinea pigs we were a bit worried so purchased these pegs. They are just so easy both to screw in and out. Compared to battling with traditional tent pegs theses are a dream. They even came with an attachment to use with a screwdriver, which will come in handy when the ground bakes hard. 12 was just the right number for our 'Piglu' with extended run. If you are planning on moving your run around these are a must!

Give yourself time to put together as its not easy, but once done well worth it. Our chickens took to it right away after being in a wood coop. The ladder could almost do with another rung but put a log under it and no problems. We got an extra extension which although not cheap for the cube makes a big difference to the room for chickens and overall look. Would recommend.

I spent many months researching the housing available for my three beautiful girls in advance of moving to a property with a much smaller garden. I chose the Eglu Cube because it looked sturdy while flexible enough to add additional run space. I wasn't disappointed. In fact I am thrilled. It took very little time to erect. The ladder wasn't really a problem - I put a large stone at the bottom for my girls to use as a launch pad. They love it because it is spacious. I love it because cleaning only takes 5 minutes now. It is fox proof. The feeder protects their food from the rain. It is absolutely the best!

supports the drinker and feeders well. And easier than trying to lean in and get the feeders from the run.

I found the instruction booklet a little confusing, so it took me quite a while to get started on the assembly of the house. However once I worked out which side panel was which and which way round it went... it was pretty straightforward to put together. Give me a piece of furniture to self assemble any day! The run was easy enough to do and the 3 pheasants I have in there are happy enough. It is a very useful addition to my chicken/pheasant paraphernalia. Easy enough to move and use and I like the way the tray can be removed for easy cleaning and how easy it is to open and shut the door...I will be using it for my youngsters in the future.

It has just withstood the test of 80 mph winds and sweeping sideways rain on our south west facing Welsh hillside, with flying colours! It stood firm and with the heavy duty Cube run cover in place, no leakage what so ever. We are VERY impressed. The internal "guttering"works well and is great design. The house is well ventilated but warm. So easy to keep clean. We will never return to wood! Most important the chix love it. As we put together our Cube and walk in run they showed great interest and hung out with us, taking peaks inside. Their 12 year old traditional "Forsham" house stood next to the finished Cube but as soon as the Cube was ready they were all in it by their own choice and no problem going up the ladder to bed on their first night. They had all laid eggs by the next morning. They completely ignore the old house which they grew up in, and are happy to spend the day on their high perches in the walk in run if we are out. Chickens are obviously pretty smart and discerning birds! Well done and very good customer service as well! I will send a photo when the sun comes out(?). Thanks for a great product.

Easy to and efficient. Held everything down in recent heavy winds.
