I recently purchased a chicken coop/shelter from Vevor. It was an all in one kit sent through Fedex with free shipping. Here I unbox, assembly, and review the product.
Forgot to mention. Just discovered your channel. And subscribed. Wish I new of you earlier. I ordered a similar chicken run from a different company and kind of wished I'd gotten a pitched roof vs flat. I'm now having to create a pitch to my run. Did a video on that yet to be uploaded. Wished I got the one you got. Anyway, you did a great job showing what it takes to build theses things for our birds.
What do you do to keep an animal from digging down at the bottom and then up into the enclosure? Also, how do you secure that door so that some animal, like a raccoon who has hands, from flipping that lock and getting in that way?
Thanks for watching. This enclosure as purchased is not going to keep persistent critters out. The frame would be a starting point for a predator proof shelter. You’d have to use heavier wire and bury it in the ground. Even then certain animals will still dig underneath. You could place it on a base of some type and that would work also. I have mine within a larger fenced area and predator pressure is very low to begin with. The shelter as purchased would be great in an area where the predators come from the air. The doors are the same thing. You might have to use a wire or other means to lock them.
