It took some time to put it together, but it was tolerable. The plastic wire that came with it is ok, but I reinforced the bottom with 2 foot hardcloth wiring all around for extra support. I "sewed" it on with the wire that came with the coop, that took A LOT of time and required 2 people, but my chickens/ducks are safe and happy. Our setup turned out better than expected. I would definitely buy this again
