Verified Reviews for Eglu Chicken Coop Run Covers & Tarps

Bought this to provide extra shelter for an elderly hen over the coming months - the new batch of rescue hens too boisterous for her to cope with in enclosed areas. Unfortunately she suddenly took a turn for the worse and she had to be put down before we could install the windbreak. However we now have a eglu go up completely kitted out with weather cover for the run and windbreak for under the coop if and when we have another hen that needs a bit of solitude or a poorly one that needs isolation or special care.

I bought these to fix tarps to the side of my walk in run - to keep the rain out. I struggled to find this size anywhere else and could only find long bungee cords. Like all things, I wish they were cheaper. But these do the job perfectly and much better than using cable ties as can easily take down and pack the tarps away when not needed. Obviously the hens highly rate them too!

Purchased this pack of 3 so we can move each one easily, to block rain sun wind or snow. Not really sure why they are called —Wind- as they have many uses. We have a large run for ducks. I think this size sheeting is easier to hose down when necessary.

Could do with being longer so that it goes to bottom on the longer side but generally does a good job on a wet day.

I have a run extension and use this on the basic full run all the time. It's that sudden down poor time of year and the hens can scratch and peck in shelter instead of just under the coop. I have put a piece of opaque plastic sheet (dpm) on the top at the house end so that the interior is more inviting for egg laying. It comes about 1 foot down each side and is about18 inches long. A ground to ground cover only one panel deep would be a good option. Glad I have this one and it means they still get sunshine and I can see them.

I really like it - just wish it was a smidge longer

I bought this after receiving our Cube and 9 ft run, and the little tarp that comes with it. This tarp covers the whole top of the run and goes about halfway down the sides so it keeps the run mostly dry. Recently it poured heavily for two days straight and that time it got wet under there. It would be nice if Omlet made a tarp for winter that goes all the way to the ground to keep out the snow and heavy rain so the ladies can stay dry and warm.

We like to use this for shade, but not from the top. Our yard is in the south so we put this on the side of the Go Up run. The only issue is the bungee, as with any bungee. They can't hold up long in Kansas weather.

Despite delayed shipping (the reason we rated 4 and not 5 stars), we received the windbreak before the snow begins to fly here in the north east! It fits perfectly under our Eglu and we are confident it will keep the hens snug this winter. We liked that the 3 pieces are joined with velcro, (hook and loop), no zippers to mess with. We plan on using "zip-ties" to attach to the enclosure. Thanks Omlet for a clever, and practical solution to weather protection!

Having to buy another as the water drips off the side and the rabbits get wet at the edge of the run ... but will be perfect once we have 2!
