Verified Reviews for Eglu Weather Protection

I thought I was ordering the 3 sided blanket. We have had single digit temperatures this winter and I have added additional blankets to keep the chickens warm enough. The 3 sided blanket is much better and keeps the chickens warmer.

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.

Images deceptive the middle bungee actually goes over the ends if you want the shade as shown. This means it's not secured at the side mid-points and therefore blew off on the first night. Need fiddly securing, but won't cope with significant winds. Shame- great heavy duty product, but fastening inadequate.

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

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

The cover is of heavy duty plastic that holds up well to the weather (heavy rain and wind) and is good at protecting the hens from mostly vertical rainfall. However, I don't understand why the side has been made of insufficient material to reach the ground. It ends approx 40cm off the ground when attached to cover the entire top of a 2m long run. I have ordered a second one and will attach both in the length from the top down the sides as I'm more concerned with horizontal snow in the winter!
