“Hiya, Just built the Ark and run and to say I am pleased with it would be an understatement. It is great and just what we were looking for. Thanks very much.”

Handmade Chicken Runs & Duck Houses in Hampshire | Vyse Arks

At Vyse Arks we design and build premium handmade animal housing right here in Hampshire — at our workshop at the Timber Yard, Andover Down.

Whether you are looking for a walk-in chicken run, a floating duck house, a poultry lodge or a completely bespoke build, everything we make is crafted by hand by our own skilled team.

Proudly Hampshire made — and easy to visit

We are based on the beautiful Andover Down — right in the heart of Hampshire and easily accessible from across the county. Whether you are in Winchester, Romsey, New Forest, Alton, Southampton, Basingstoke, Petersfield or anywhere across Hampshire — we are never far away.

Come and see our products in person, meet the team and see exactly how everything is made. There is nothing quite like seeing the quality of our builds up close before you buy.

What we make:

  • Walk-in chicken runs — Onduline roof, apex mesh and flat mesh — 9ft x 6ft up to 24ft x 9ft
  • Floating duck houses — for ponds and lakes
  • Duck houses and Goose houses
  • Poultry lodges — for larger flocks
  • Chicken houses — from broody coops to large integrated house and run combinations
