Easier to put together than we thought. Not predator proof but we shut our birds up at night. The gauge of wire is very thin but so easy to work with. We have 12 birds and they cleared the ground this was on within 30 minutes. You will have to add blocks along the bottom if your ground isn't flat or your chickens are digging a massive dust bath ditch next to the edges. We still love it as it allows them some extra room during the day and protection from hawks. Ended up buying green UV zip ties because the white stands out too much against the green wire.
