The steel is powder-coated and it is said that most powder coating applications last for over 10-15 years. We sell small pots of the chosen frame colour, which can be purchased at time of order, and are useful to touch up any damage to the metal frame should any occur. The plastic boarding is described as colourfast, but may lose some of the colour intensity after 10-15 years.

All types of chicken coops can get red mite infestations, however wooden coops tend to suffer from infestations the most, as mites love moist wooden surfaces, and there are hundreds of places to hide. Using plastic and metal instead of wood, we have not only minimised the places mites can hide, but our hut can be washed with a hose or jet wash countless times with no ill effects and it dries in minutes. Plastic huts also do not need to be treated with insecticides like wooden coops. No company can claim to completely remove the threat of mites, but we have taken huge strides to prevent and effectively deal with them.

Our hut consist of 100% recycled plastic boarding, and recyclable steel and aluminium.

Our Classic hut is designed for up to 20 large chickens or 25 bantam chickens.

All metal can rust if it is not treated or painted correctly. This is why we powder-coat the frames of all of our huts to give them protection against the elements. The roof is covered in a plastisol coating to also prevent rust.

All of our huts are on wheels, and this enables them to be manoeuvrable. The Classic hut has two fixed axels and is able to move backward and forward from its position. Where as the Classic PLUS has a full turning axel which gives you full 360 degrees manoeuvrability. The hut can be pushed and pulled on a hard surface or can be towed by a lawn mower or quad bike for longer journeys.

The 'grass' is made from plastic and the best way to clean it is to soak it in a bucket of detergent, and then hose or pressure wash it clean. This can be done countless times with no ill effect. To ensure your hens are never left without somewhere comfortable to lay, additional 'grass' is available on our website.

We suggest our community nest box is suitable for a flock of up to 20 large hens. Due to the lack of dividers, the hens tend to feel less stressed, as in a traditional style box, hens tend to crowd each other out. and they enjoy the community environment.
