Bought this to add it to my coop as an extension. I knew there was an opening, i sealed it up using hardware cloth and staples. The unit is made out of a 1.5 x .5. Couldve been sturdier but its not too bad for the price i paid ($96)

In case some were wondering, it's an open bottom pen. One of the short ends is an open cut out, so this is meant to be paired with their coop that has a matching doorway. Only one half of the top swings open to access. Now that I own it, I wish that it came with a closed roof to give my girls more shade and protection from the rain. Size wise, I have four bantams. In the early morning they leave their coop and hang out in this run together until I let them out. Overall I like the look and it was what I expected to receive for the low cost.

This run is a really good size and the material seems fairly sturdy. The main downside is that it must be connected to another Trixie Natura coop, otherwise there is a hole and no way to close it off. We'll probably put it against a fence. If it had a removable door or nesting box to cover the hole, that would be much better.
