1.52mW x 0.78mD x 1.80mH Chicken Coop Flat Roof Single Door Zincalume

Create a practical, sheltered enclosure for one or two chickens with the Absco 1.52m x 0.78m Flat Roof Chicken Coop. Its compact footprint is suited to smaller backyards, while the combination of solid steel panels and wide galvanised mesh sections provides shelter, ventilation and clear visibility into the enclosure.

 

Designed for approximately 1–2 chickens, the coop provides a protected space for resting at night or staying secure when they cannot be supervised. The number of chickens it can accommodate will depend on their breed, size and access to additional outdoor space.

 

The single hinged door provides convenient access for feeding, cleaning and everyday care. Although designed as a chicken coop, this versatile enclosure may also be suitable for use as an aviary, cattery, dog kennel or small-animal shelter, depending on the size and needs of your animals.

 

Made in Australia from high-tensile BlueScope steel, the coop features a low-maintenance Zincalume® finish, rolled safety edges, a braced door and superior wall rigidity. Absco’s SNAPTiTE® assembly system, pre-punched holes and labelled parts help support a smoother DIY build.

 

This flat-pack chicken coop is designed as a permanent, fixed structure and should be securely anchored to a suitable concrete slab. Anchors are not included. You will require 8 anchors or 2 packs for installation, purchased separately.

 

Before introducing birds or animals, the galvanised mesh must either be weathered for two months or scrubbed with a mild acidic solution, such as vinegar, and rinsed thoroughly with clean water. Please ensure the enclosure is appropriate for your animals before purchasing.
