Verified Reviews for Eglu Rabbit Weather Protection

Have used these to secure Omlet chicken run covers for around 6 years, but life of the elasticated cord is limited to about 2 years. Needs to be better weather-proofed. However, do a good job otherwise.

The clear rain cover is a great idea, but it does not come far enough down at the side so it doesn't offer enough protection from the rain.

This item is good quality however to protect the rabbits further from our unpredictable British weather I purchased a see through tarpaulin which completely covers the run and allows them to use the run whatever the weather. Perhaps you should consider developing your own cover which gives protection from the weather but also allows light into the run.

This is not the first cover I have bought from you over the years and generally I am happy ... BUT... the cover does not fit down one side as stated. There is a five inch gap at the bottom - (perhaps this could be solved with shorter bungee hooks?) and of course the other side is open to the elements so when the wind, rain direction changes... I have tried to Heath Robinson the cover using another old cover on which the reinforcement on the holes had torn away (we have very strong winds up here) What I would REALLY like is a transparent cover that fits to the ground on both sides and is the FULL length of the run WITH extension. (As another reviewer some of us have more than two hens and thus have the extension) I would buy such an item in a heartbeat!

We bought two (as the best option we could see on the Omlet site) to fit over an Eglu Go-Up and try and prevent the ground looking like the Somme. They have certainly improved the situation with all the rain we've been having lately so thats the good news. However, the eyelets have rusted within a few weeks. Due to the design of the go-Up the rain still get's in under the coop and around the edges of the cover so the ground is still fairly wet and muddy. The "Clear" plastic is now filthy as the chickens flick muck around (admittedly we could take the covers and wash them down). In the short term the covers have improved the situation for the chickens. Longer term I will probably build a permanent roof structure over the top of the Go-Up and run to keep the chickens dry and mud free.

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.

Good product but would be better if it fitted snug to the eglu rather than leave a gap just where the doorway is. Keeps them dry and they are quite happy eating when wet and windy

Very useful item! But I found it a bit shorter than before when I had some?

This product is worth getting for periods of wet weather. However, due to its design you cannot use it to protect from wind down to chicken height and the higher side directs the run off into the run so there is still a big strip of wet.
