Bunny run
Bought this to connect bunny hutch, on my deck, to a run on the ground via 300inch pvc flex pipe bought at lowes. The makeshift tunnel works great and connects to one of the small square door openings on the side of the cage. It was connected with bonsai wire, simply puncturing the pvc and twisting around grate of the run. The Bunnies love it. I had to put bricks around inner edges so bunnies couldn’t easily dig out, as they did previously. I also bought a piece of plywood to cover the top to evenly distribute weight of rain/snow and covered that with a tarp. The tarp alone collected rain water to where it couldn’t run off and weighed down the middle, Boeing it in. The plywood fixed this issue. Also bought 10 pack of 3/8-5/8in adjustable hose clamps to secure edges, as this unit is self supporting and can easily be disrupted and makes it hard to move. I also wanted extra security in case a predator tried to get the rabbits and to be able to move by myself when the ground needs cleaned. Putting it together was frustrating because it’s not secure, def needed a helper but I’m sure I could have managed solo if I had to. Great value for money. Serves purpose as I intended it to. There are many access points as well which made placement variable.

Does exactly what it says it will and then some.
I purchased this to give my bittys room to stretch out and still be safe from the grown chickens. While there were no directions, with about 15 minutes of trying it different ways we figured it out. It really is simple once it makes sense. Plenty of room for 6 8 week old Rhode Island Reds and easily moved about the yard. I am curious if there's a possibility of attaching two together to make a larger playpen, but since you can move it about, that really isn't a problem. Sturdy construction, but lightweight and maneuverable once put together. There's a door on the roof for placing animals in and caring from above, as well as a door on the side for easy exit. Took my girls twice loading into a transfer cage to catch on to " this door is where we exit". The cover is minimal but it's only really needed to give them a small place to get out of the hot sun which it does just fine. It comes with two spots for what I'm guessing is water bottles , and include a chain and latch to remove and replace waterer. I have no need so they're just accessory. I may find something else to do with them over time. Would I buy this again? Already considering getting another at some point. Would I recommend ? By all means. It's tall enough to use as a hospital pen if you have a chicken that's being picked on by the others and needs some quiet space. So I'll get plenty of use from it. Even tall enough for my miniature dogs if I need to contain them while not at home. (camping, ball games, picnics etc.)

Reinforcement needed to move this daily
It was fairly easy to put together once I got a handle on the panels. The instructions could be better, but it's not a super complicated process.I love the top opening hatch and bottom/back hatch as well. We are using it for our chickens, so we aren't using the small side doorways. The top hatch latch piece is starting to rub off the paint, which is causing the beginning of surface rust.We move this daily which has impacted its sturdiness. To help combat this, I zip-tied all connecting areas . This has been helpful especially on the corners. However it doesn't do much for the long ends that can buckle if someone isn't paying attention when moving it. Our long ends buckled and are now not straight.To help with the cage from dragging grass, I took pool noodles, cut a slit in the one side and inserted on the bottom of the cage. I duct-taped the pool noodles in order to help keep them from falling apart. This has helped with moving the cage with ease.The one part I do not like is that the top panels aren't very sturdy. Chickens need food and water, which is usually hanging dispensers. You will need to make sure any hanging dispensers are close to the edge otherwise the top cage will bow down and become weak. We have one hanging food dispenser that we added a bowl topper on to keep the rain out.The rain fabric piece is very flimsy and not very durable. I ended up using a thicker tarp to give the birds more shade and protection from the elements.Overall it would be best served as a stationary cage.

Sturdy for the price
I put this together myself and it was so simple. The pieces could have been labeled better to make it easier to put them right side out. I did have to switch things around a couple times. But even with that it was done in no time. The 3 doors are very convenient for placing it exactly where you want. And the chickens love the perch.

GOOD SIZE!!
I originally purchased this product for my bunnies (i have two) The idea was to utilize a wooden hutch that has a ramp that comes down, and insert the ramp into this enclosure. BUNNIES DIG so I did need to put down some fencing wire prior to putting this bad boy on top. I like the little green shade that comes with it, it fits perfectly on the corner of the enclosure.I would recommend having two people assemble and move this product once it is built. It is VERY LARGE and very difficult to move with one person and have it not collapse.I would totally buy this again.
