Welcome to Spectrum Geeks! In today’s video I’m tackling a full build of the walk-in chicken run (2.5 m × 3 m) from Chicken Coops Direct — unpacking, assembly, features, and a thorough review.

Chicken Coops Direct Walk In Run - chickencoopsdirect.com/walk-in-chicken-run-2-5m

In this video you’ll see:

Unboxing the kit and inspecting the contents

Laying out the parts: the 25mm galvanized steel tubing, the 25m hexagonal PVC-coated wire mesh (35mm × 35mm holes, 1.1mm gauge)

Step-by-step assembly of the run (Depth 2.5 m, Width 3 m, Height ~2 m)

Tips on predator / fox protection: e.g., creating a wire-skirt around the perimeter and ensuring secure latches

My first impressions: how sturdy it is, how easy (or hard) it is to build, and whether it delivers good value

Final verdict: who this run is for, and what to watch out for if you’re considering a similar product
