ASSEMBLING YOUR CHICKEN RUN
All of our chicken runs come with full, very detailed assembly instructions. You may want some help from a friend but if you follow the step by step guide that comes with your run, getting your bird’s new area assembled is easy. You can always contact us on our Freephone number 0800 832 1962, if you have any issues or questions regarding the installation of your new chicken run. The tools you’ll require to assemble your chicken run are as follows: Cross head screwdrivers, Measuring tape, Wire cutters, Step ladder & Hammer
If you decide to increase the size of your run, either because you want to extend the room available to your birds or other pets, or you want to house more birds, you can extend later by adding a single or multiple, extra 2 metre section. Simply call us to discuss your options.
A VARIETY OF USES
There are so many different uses for our chicken runs, it’s impossible to list them all. The most common use is to provide a safe home for pets and poultry but the range of uses is as diverse as your imagination. People are using our pens to house rabbits, as a cat or dog run, as an aviary and even to protect fruit trees.
GROUND PREPARATION
Our chicken runs will sit on any surface providing it is relatively flat (up to a 1in20 slope should be fine) but different surfaces have different advantages/disadvantages.
A grass or earth surface is probably best for larger pets. It allows the ground skirt to be pegged down but there is a possibility of rats tunneling under the frame to get inside. But we do have an optional full ground cover made from our ultimate welded mesh with half inch holes to help prevent this (select this option when adding this product to your Cart).
The runs will also sit well on a hard/concrete/tarmac surface which eliminates the worry about tunneling but won’t allow the ground skirt to be pegged down.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE
When you’re deciding which size run will house the number of birds you have, please consider the size of your birds. You should also allow for the space taken up by your coop, if the coop is going to be kept inside the run.
