The cage is constructed from galvanised steel, and the roof is made of polyethylene (PE).
No, the chicken cage requires assembly. Instructions are typically included.

The dimensions are 3 meters in width, 6 meters in depth, and 2 meters in height.
Yes, the gate is equipped with a lock for extra security.
While it can be used for large birds, its suitability depends on the specific size and temperament of the birds. It is primarily designed for smaller poultry and animals.
Regular cleaning with water and a mild detergent is recommended. For the steel frame, periodically check for and address any signs of rust.
Ensure all bolts and fasteners are tightly secured. Consider adding ground anchors or weights to the base, especially in windy locations.
Inspect the polyethylene roof for tears or significant degradation. Minor damage might be patchable; severe damage may require roof replacement. Clean regularly to prevent debris buildup that can accelerate wear.
Check for any obstructions around the lock mechanism. Clean and lubricate the lock if necessary. Ensure the gate is properly aligned within its frame.
Bury the bottom edges of the cage walls slightly into the ground or place heavy objects (like rocks or bricks) along the base to deter digging.
Assembly: This chicken cage requires assembly. Ensure all parts are present before beginning. Follow the included instructions carefully, typically involving connecting the steel poles and securing them with provided fasteners. It is recommended to have two people for easier assembly.
Placement: Choose a level, well-drained area for placement. Consider proximity to natural shade and protection from prevailing winds. For added stability, especially in areas prone to strong winds, consider anchoring the cage to the ground.
Compatibility: The cage is designed for small animals such as chickens, hens, ducks, and potentially rabbits or guinea pigs. It can also be used as an aviary for birds. Ensure the size and species of your animals are appropriate for the enclosure.
Care: Periodically check all connections for tightness. Clean the cage regularly to maintain hygiene. The galvanised steel may benefit from occasional cleaning to prevent excessive rust. The polyethylene roof should be cleaned of debris to maintain its water-resistant properties.
