The chicken pen frame snapped together pretty quick. 20 min. The wire is the cheapest, thinnest chicken wire i have ever seen. I will install it on the top but not on the sides. In the country we have wild animals that can get in this wire. I can use it around the ground on the outside to deture digging in. I like and need my chickens. Door is a good design. Need a better lock than the flip down lock it comes with. I guess i should have made my own. The frame is very thin tubing too. Good enough for a pen for a few years.
