Verified Reviews for Eglu Rabbit Weather Protection

I specifically bought the heavy duty cover for the egly classic (extension) to fit the guinea pig run that goes with the eglu. I use the eglu with the guinea pig run as a sick bay, temporary accommodation for new 9wk old chicks, isolating injured bantams as well as separating bullies from their victims.The shade fit is perfect, keeps food dry and this year has provided ample protection from the frequent and heavy rain we have experienced. The cover quality is excellent and should last a lot longer than the ealier shades. Would definitely recommend.

Very good idea to have plastic cover as you can see chicks inside. Gives some protection from rain but would probably be better if bigger to cover the sides

Good shade. Much sturdier than the original and good cover for the chickens where their food and drink is.

We bought this initially to give the chickens some shelter from the torrential rain we kept having! It was easy to fit and was welcome shelter for them both in the rain, and now in the sun!

very good

I treated my chucks to the extension one Xmas (second hand via Omlet website - excellent value and condition!) but about a month ago I accidently ripped the original sunshade which had gone brittle with 3 years or so of sun, rain, snow etc. The new cover fits perfectly and actually gives better protection from the sun (as it's oblong rather than a triangle) - and in particular from all the heavy rain we've recently been experiencing. The quality is much better than the original shades as it's a sort of heavy duty, rubberised, plasitc type material. Chickens are happy and therefore so am I!!

I am so glad I bought this! With all the rain we have had lately it has been a godsend for the hens and myself. The hens have stayed dry and I haven't had to clean heaps of quagmire mud off the inside of the hen house. Also, the fact that it goes down one side means you can fit it according to the way the wind is blowing.

Had the sun shade, but decided that I would go for a heavy duty cover, glad I have now with the amount of rain we've had lately.

I have a south facing garden and I wanted some shade for my hens. The cover is good quality (better than the one I received with my rabbit eglu). During the recent torrential rain it has also provided shelter. I intend to buy the clear, full length one for the winter.

Gives a useful increase in protection to that provided by the free sun shade. However I did expect it to provide cover to grade on one side whilst still giving a reasonable level of protection on the other. This it does not do. Construction quality seems good and delivery was quick.
