Field shelter
The field shelter is great, the girls love it, big enough to shelter quite a few chickens
Domestic chickens are descended from jungle fowl and are used to having some overhead cover from airborne predators. They also need protection from the elements. This field shelter provides cover from rain, wind, hail and, in the height of summer, it provides shade. It is also ideal for placing food containers underneath, so that the chicken feed is kept dry.The shelters are robust, yet can be quite easily moved using the carrying handles. Stakes are provided to anchor the house to the ground, which should prevent it blowing away in a high wind.
END PANEL
We can also provide an end panel in black that fixes to one side with cable ties. This will provide extra protection from the elements, which can be useful in exposed locations.
DIMENSIONS
External Size: 152 (w) x 78 (h) x 118 (d) cm

From order to delivery in a little over 2 days, excellent. Product itself is perfect for our chickens to protect themselves from the typical British weather, Come rain or shine the girls now have the ideal retreat. Well made, easy to assemble, large enough for a reasonable size flock and easy to clean. Wish I had bought one sooner.
Easy to put together, very robust.
Our large green field shelter arrived the day after having placed the order. It is a well-designed and sturdy product - better than we had actually anticipated. My husband found the assembly fairly straightforward; I was out when the package arrived and he assembled it as a surprise for my return. The only 'problem' as such was that we also ordered the back panel to provide additional shelter for our hens but it made the interior quite dark and the hens were reluctant to go inside for a couple of weeks. With hindsight we would have left the back panel off and let them adjust to the shelter first, attaching the panel at a subsequent date. However, they are using the shelter now to keep out of the rain and wind. In summary, the large field shelter accommodates our 12 hens comfortably in inclement weather and it is a very well-designed and manufactured product. Highly recommended.
I ordered this in the4 afternoon and the next morning it arrived, what an excellent way to do business.
This took a while to arrive but I put that down to the snow fall during early January 2013 and the delivery trucks being unable to collect/deliver. Came well packaged and fits in really nicely with the chicken loft that we bought previously. There were a few pins missing but when I emailed these were sent out and arrived the following day. Really great item for my chickens to stay out of the rain and snow - and also the sun if we get any!!
Great. larger than I imagined it would be, but am very pleased with larger rather than smaller! again, easy to move around but tough. also if you put clear polythene over it instead of the panels, doubles as a mini poly tunnel for plants. However as it is in field overlooking Irish Sea, good wind protection. End panel being removable is good.
