I got this, not for a chicken coop, but for a play pin I could use for my cat to be able to go outdoors, it works perfect for that purpose :)  He begs to go out everyday now.  Much better than those little tents you can buy for your cats.  Is lightweight enough that it moves around the yard easy, I def wouldn't trust it for chickens though, predators could probably find their way in... If you decide to use it for your cat, never leave your cat unattended, & for no longer than a hour a time, & make sure they have shade to hide in as well.
