This 10 ft x 20 ft outdoor chicken run provides a spacious and secure environment for backyard poultry. Featuring a sturdy metal frame and enclosed wire mesh panels, it helps keep chickens safely contained while allowing fresh air circulation. The weather-resistant roof cover offers added protection from sun and light rain, making it suitable for everyday outdoor use. Designed for outdoor placement, this enclosure offers a practical and reliable solution for housing chickens comfortably.
This is a very large run for the price, and it is sturdy, but there were some things that I wish I had been aware of. I might still have ordered it, but I was a tad disappointed. If you want a truly secure run, you will need to invest hardware cloth and sweat.
On the positive side, the wire panels are sturdy, and the hardware is substantial. They are solid welded wire panels, put together with double brackets. It should do a good job of keeping out large predators.
However, the gaps between panels are wider than they appear in the picture and there are large gaps to each side of the door
The door is a duck-in door. It's about 3'3" tall, although quite wide. The third image shows that more clearly. The "roof" is a series of triangular trusses with cross beams, so while it is 6' at the peak, you have to watch your head. That said, it's plenty high enough for the chickens, and one can get in there to work, carefully.
The roof is mostly canvas. The welded wire does not continue ANYWHERE that is under the canvas in the images. There is a big triangular opening at both ends.
Quality control could have been a bit better, but pieces are well enough manufactured to be sufficient for it to function. Assembly is tedious, that's a lot of panels!
What we are doing to make the run more secure is to put a 2' band of 1/2" hardware cloth up the sides, and also a 2' skirt of the same, staked and weighted down. The entire roof area will be covered with 1/2"-1" hardware cloth, and we will cut triangular panels to fill in the front and back. The gaps to either side of the door will probably also need reinforcement.
