Rugged Ranch Products METALCOUP Metal Chicken Coup, 7 by 8-Feet

The pen arrived three weeks earlier than expected! I was so happy. It only took me and a helper about a little over an hour to put this together. My girls(hens) are loving it. I put it flush against the chicken house and cut a chicken size door and now they can come and go when ever they please and will be safe from predators. Maybe next spring I will order the expansion kit. Amazon Prime with it's free shipping knocked this one out of the ball park. The other web sites that had this same pen wanted $220.00 just to ship it! Amazon Prime gave me free shipping and it came just fine. No damage to the box or the pen. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.

A 150 lb product box sent via FedEx mini-van with a small middle aged woman who struggled to get it off...takes more than 15 minutes to put together and while I really LIKE the product its paint job leaves a LOT to be desired from a product that costs as much as it did......There are a LOT of nicks, scrapes, flaking paint........the VERY first rain it went through this past weekend revealed every break in paint quality. Improve the paint quality/durability and I might buy another one.......otherwise, no.

I was very disappointed with the product. It came damaged with the black coating off on every piece. It already starting rusting in various places. The pictures of the item says it all. I had to put together and use as my ducks were at risk from predators and needed to get them shielded. However, I wish I could return. Do not buy this product. It was very expensive and won't last long. Just long enough for me to purchase a better product.

I really want to like this product. So much so that I bought two of them because I couldn't find anything like it. This is great for my pet rabbits as a run and it allows easy access to them for cleaning or just visiting with them. It's strong and sturdy and keeps them safe while they play. I like that this is modular and that you can combine two of them to make a longer play area. What I don't like is that it is showing signs of rust where the plastic caps are missing. Also, in both shipments, a lot of the pieces that hold the pen together ( the pins and some bolts along with the circular rings that hold the pins in place) were missing. They must have fallen out of the box altogether. My recommendation would be to leave the little parts in a sealed box or other container so they don't get lost during shipping. Some of the welded wire has broken in some inconsequential areas, which is more of a nitpick. Overall though I am happy I have this product.

Upon delivery, this item appeared as though it had been to hell & back. All four corners of the shipping box were ripped open. There were several layers of tape that had been applied to repair the tattered box. Clearly this damage did not occur overnight during the carrier's (UPS) transportation, it was shipped this way. The gapping holes in the mutilated box more than likely contributed to the missing parts and instructions. The missing parts were soon replaced after contacting the manufacturer. The over condition of the cage was poor as well. Several areas of the fencing/cage were rusted & broken. Very disappointed.

Great product easy to set up

About a year after owning it I gotta say I love it. I use it for my rabbits. I live in the mountains and after snow and heavy rainfall, the cage has not rusted or paint chipping. For the price I wish it was a little bigger but still satisfied overall.

We got this as an outdoor catio for our cats. It's the perfect amount of space for them. Normal catio's are tall and narrow, that's why we liked this for them. It's big enough for up to 3 of our cats at one time, and it's high enough that we can get a small cat tree in the middle for them. We've also put a tarp on the top, just so they get some shade during the day. It is a bit irritating that it's so short, and I've bumped my head on it more times then I can count, but it works great for them. They love being outside, catching bugs, enjoying the sunshine, and laying out, and I'm happy knowing that they're safe, and nothing can get to them. We're looking at getting another one to increase the amount of space they have, as we've added another kitten to our brood. Side Note: we only let them out in the mornings, and early evenings - and are never out in the high heat of the day.
