Galvanised Steel Walk-In Chicken Run - Water-Resistant Roof - Large Outdoor Poultry Enclosure (Multiple Sizes)

Providing a spacious and dry environment is essential for the health and productivity of your flock, especially during changing weather conditions. This professional-grade walk-in chicken run offers a high-capacity solution for poultry keepers, ensuring birds can exercise, forage, and socialise in total security. Built with a reinforced galvanised steel frame and protective roofing, it keeps animals shielded from the elements while maintaining a bright, well-ventilated habitat.

This run is available in five modular lengths from 4 metres to 12 metres, with a fixed 2.5-metre depth and 2.25-metre height, allowing you to select the ground area that best matches your flock size and available garden space.

Best For: Poultry keepers and hobby farmers requiring a high-capacity, predator-proof outdoor enclosure with weather protection for medium-to-large flocks of chickens, ducks, or geese.

Key Features:

• Heavy-Duty Galvanised Steel Frame: Reinforced steel provides a stable, rust-resistant foundation that withstands harsh wind and rain.
• Protective Water-Resistant Roof: The heavy-duty polyethylene (PE) cover shields animals from direct sun and wet weather, keeping the interior dry and comfortable.
• Predator-Resistant Hexagonal Mesh: High-tensile mesh prevents unwanted intruders while offering a clear view and excellent ventilation.
• High-Clearance Lockable Door: Standing at 185cm tall, the walk-in door allows for easy access for maintenance, featuring a secure locking system.
• Modular Length Configurations: Available in five lengths from 4 metres to 12 metres, scaling the ground area from 10 square metres up to 30 square metres.
• Multi-Species Versatility: The robust construction is ideal for a wide range of small animals, including hens, roosters, rabbits, and waterfowl.

Product Technical Specifications Matrix:

Primary Agricultural & Livestock Uses

• Poultry Management: Giving chickens ample room to move and forage in a protected, weatherproof environment.
• Mixed Flock Habitats: Large enough to accommodate ducks, geese, and hens together safely.
• Small Animal Exercise: Providing a secure, high-security run for rabbits or other small pets.

Pro Tip & Predator Proofing: While the hexagonal mesh walls prevent larger animals from entering, burrowing predators such as foxes may attempt to dig beneath the base rails.

Lay an apron of heavy-duty galvanised mesh flat on the ground extending 30cm to 50cm outward around the entire perimeter before pegging it down. Occasionally check the tension of the mesh and ensure the PE roof cover is securely fastened to prevent water pooling during heavy rain.

Bird flu biosecurity — cover your coop

During avian influenza outbreaks in Australia, wild bird droppings can carry the virus into your flock. If your run or coop is open to the sky, cover the top with a solid tarp, corrugated sheet, or purpose-made roof panel so droppings from passing birds cannot fall onto your chickens, feed, or water.

Keep food and water under cover, limit contact with wild birds, and report sick poultry to your state agriculture department.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
