The Wouter Chicken Coop is a complete wooden animal house for chickens and rabbits. It combines a sheltered indoor area with an enclosed outdoor run, giving animals space to rest, shelter and move around. At 218 cm long, 78 cm wide and approximately 136 cm high at the ridge, this chicken coop is a practical choice for a tidy, compact animal area in the garden. The coop is made from planed, green pressure-treated spruce timber. The treatment helps protect the timber for outdoor use, while the smooth planed finish provides a neat appearance. The gable roof is covered with roofing felt. Wouter Chicken Coop includes a nesting box, indoor coop with door, perch, access ramp, mesh and fixings. This provides the main components needed for a functional poultry house. Place the animal house on a level, stable and well-draining surface. Inspect the coop regularly for dirt, moisture, loose fixings and damage. A clean, dry indoor area, fresh bedding and sufficient ventilation help support a hygienic and comfortable environment for your animals.

Instructions for use

Follow these steps for correct assembly and responsible use.

1. Choose a suitable location: Position the coop in a quiet, level area with sufficient shelter from strong wind and prolonged waterlogging.
2. Level the surface: Create a stable, well-draining base so the coop stands straight and moisture beneath the structure is limited.
3. Check the components: Before assembly, inspect all timber parts, mesh, roofing felt, nesting box, perch, ramp and fixings.
4. Assemble according to the manual: Build the animal house step by step in accordance with the supplied assembly instructions.
5. Secure the roofing felt carefully: Check that the roofing felt is fitted correctly and tightly to help protect the indoor coop from rainfall.
6. Prepare the indoor coop: Add suitable bedding to the interior and keep the nesting box clean and dry.
7. Inspect mesh and closures: Regularly check that mesh, doors, hinges and closures are secure and free from sharp edges.
8. Introduce animals gradually: Allow chickens or rabbits to become accustomed to the house gradually and always provide adequate drinking water, suitable feed and appropriate space.
9. Clean and maintain: Remove droppings and damp bedding regularly, clean the indoor coop and inspect timber and roof covering for wear or damage.
