This is called 'heavy duty' and is indeed better than the thinner cover that came initially with the house and run when we bought it.

My girls love the Egglu and lay everyday since we bought it. Only wish it had air vents in the top as it gets quite warm in Summer. Fantastic product, well worth the expense!

As first time chicken owners I wouldn't want to keep them any other way, the coop makes cleaning ridiculously easy by its easy access at the rear & ability to pull out the nest & dropping tray & quickly rinse with the hose. Also the ability to move all over the garden is a godsend as they do make quite a mess if kept in the run for any length of time. we will be purchasing the run extension for the odd days we cant let them out. the novelty of collecting those freshly laid eggs will never cease to amaze us. wonderful product thank you.

This is the best chicken coop I have ever seen! I purchased one years ago and it is still just like new. It also weathered 28" of snow with no problems also the ginger nut ranger chickens were the best I ever raised. Plan on getting the cube one next. I just want to say again that I purchased mine years ago and it is still in use today! Very impressed.

We have been looking at the Eglu for some time and bulked at the price. However .... after one serious disaster with mite infestation in what was advertised a mite-free housing, we decided to finally go for the Eglu. Only wished we had done it right from the start. It is fantastic (once assembled, which is OK but quite involved and lengthy! ... but don't be put off by this comment). Looks great and oh so easy to maintain, clean etc. Chickens absolutely love it. Went for the slightly larger coop to give us flexibility, which was a good call. Chickens absolutely love it too! Although our chickens run free in a very large garden, the 2m run has given us flexibility for long weekends away. We love wood and very natural people, but the coop looks great too and blend into the garden in a very natural and pleasing way. Very impressed and pleased and if you really do want to keep chickens, don't consider anything else. Just not worth the hygienic hassle.

Great addition to our Egly Cube .... a little fiddly to erect and seem to have lots of links left over, but great once finished and skits disappears into the lawn with no problems mowing over it. Very pleased.

Debated with myself for weeks reading reviews/comparisons on all types of chicken houses before deciding that the Eglu Cube Mk2 was going to best sort my needs. I had been thinking about keeping chickens for a year or so and when my daughter took on some ex-battery hens I really decided I would like some chickens of my own although had not been impressed with the wooden chicken coops. I subsequently ordered my cube and 3m run and put this together all by myself. The run was a bit of a nightmare to put together and I certainly do not rate the little clips, I found it much easier and more rigid to use cable ties. The house itself was a little fiddly but not too difficult and I proudly took ownership of 3 chickens who seem to be very happy in their new home. The Cube is a doddle for cleaning out and although is rather expensive, I think you get what you pay for. The size is very good and you could possibly sleep 5 medium to large chickens however a 3m run I feel is only adequate for 3 largish birds. My hens are quite lucky in that at weekends they can be let out to roam around a designated area of my garden, if you were keeping hens in the run all the time, I would definitely not look at having more than 3. Everyone agrees that this hen house is lovely and I actually feel the chickens and hen house enhance my garden. My chickens are so lovely and follow me around constantly hoping for treats. If you really want to keep chickens then this is the idea house for you. I would have gone for the Go-Up, but after reading rather a lot about chickens I really wanted a totally egg laying area from the roosting area. Mine very soon realised where they should go to lay eggs and I can even leave the little sliding door open as they are more than happy to sleep on the roosting bars. I agree with others that the ladder can be a bit daunting for the chickens, I have one which has always walked up this rather elegantly from the star, one that jumps and flutters up and down a little at the time and another chicken which always seems to trip over its feet and literally falls out each morning. Overall very pleased with my purchase and more than happy to recommend.

Easy to assemble, carry when folded, and clean. Good size for my 10 kg cockapoo who loves to stretch out in it. The only thing I would improve, would be to have options on which side and opening for doors. I would happily have paid more for that option. Good crate, would highly recommend

Well made heavy plastic drinker. The description said it was suitable for the eglu classic. It does fit on the wire but there's no way that you can hang it so it's raised off the ground as it is too heavy when filled. I have to hook it on the lowest bars and sit it on the ground.

This is an excellent product except for one thing. There is no facility to fix the rain hood on the feeder once it is suspended on the chain and therefore the feed is open to the elements. We do not have sufficient cover in the run and out on the lawn where our girls free range. Apart from this one small detail, we are very pleased with them.
