I have managed with my original shade for 3 1/2 years although it was doing its best to disintegrate. I am so please Omlet have brought out a shade that is up to the job of being out in all weathers all year round. Winter will be the real test but I am very impressed with the material so far - much more substantial than the original shade. It comes with enough bungees so that it can be positioned easily. It is a bit rucked up but imagine this is due to the shapre of the run. Overall I would recommend this product!

easy to put together. the run is excellent and very safe. Really pleased with my purchase

Very happy with our Eglu. Its easy to move which was the main reason we went for it and very easy to clean which is a real plus. I was surprised it did not come with some pegs for securing the run from foxes, which is fairly important. Also the door latches could be better designed as once you have opened the run door you are left holder the two pins. We have 4 chickens in our extended run, I would not suggest having anymore than that and certainly not the 10 you suggest in the Eglu specifications.

Good but does tend to condensate a lot and takes a while to clear, not sure how it will stand up to another winter like last one though.

Functunal but streches to easy allowing the steel eyes to fall out is going to need to be renewed every year

After ordering, the flat packs arrived promptly and we set to putting the cube and extension run together. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and after a couple of hours two of us had a completed cube and 2 metre run. A few weeks later we stocked with 5 beautiful hybrids from Newland Poultry (highly recommended) who are thriving and producing plenty of eggs. Overall we are delighted with the Eglu Cube, it is a practical, being easy to maintain and clean, attractive addition to the garden. More importantly the "girls" love it! My only very slight concern is that the hens do not seem to like the roosting bars and prefer to sleep in the nesting box. Has anyone else had this problem? If so what solutions have you employed.

Was suprisingly difficult to put together, even though my husband is very practical & skilled at that sort of thing. It's also quite tricky to move & the wheels come unlocked when negotiating over bumpy ground. The ladder up to the cube is rather high off the ground making it awkard for the chickens to enter & leave the cube. However, overall we are pleased with our cube & so are the chickens. It's very easy to clean out, a doddle compared with wooden houses & much more hygenic. The sunshade & the winter cover are both brilliant ideas.

Does what it's supposed to, keeps run dry. Does get a bit wrinkly, so not sure how it will weather over time.

Now all my cubes have these in. Makes life a lot easier. Thank you Omlet

I have bought this for the 9 new girls in my life and garden and I am really pleased with it. I started out with a traditional drinker but found I was cleaning it twice a day as it soon bacame blocked and dirty. I don't have an Omlet coop but we have quickly adapted this to fit my Solway coop. The delivery was a day later than stated but nevertheless I am very pleased as the hens have started drinking from their new glug immediately.
