Vyse Arks Enclosed Run | Apex Onduline Roof | 9ft x 6ft | 16 Gauge Wire Mesh

The Chicken Run You'll Eventually Buy - Because in the end, quality always wins.

It's the perfect, safe, and comfortable enclosure for ducks, geese, chickens, turkeys, and other pets.

Built for the dedicated chicken keeper, our 9ft x 6ft walk-in chicken run with Onduline apex roof is the perfect start for a small backyard flock. Fitted with heavy duty 16 gauge Italian galvanised wire mesh - available in 3/4" x 3/4" as standard or upgrade to 1/2" x 1/2" for maximum predator resistance.

The solid Onduline apex roof is the feature that sets this run apart from open mesh alternatives — keeping your birds dry and comfortable in all weathers, year round. This is the chicken run you eventually buy. Milled pressure-treated Scandinavian timber throughout gives a smooth, clean finish — far superior to rough sawn alternatives.

Construction & Materials

Our panels are built for durability, strength, and animal safety.

Welded Mesh:
Made from 16 gauge 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch Italian galvanised steel welded mesh. Also available in 19 gauge ½ inch x ½ inch. Please note we never use chicken wire – foxes can chew through it. This tighter, stronger mesh keeps predators out and prevents small birds from entering.

Sturdy Timber Frame:
Our frames are built from 58mm x 38mm pressure-treated timber (milled size approx. 34mm x 44mm) for excellent weather resistance and long-lasting structural integrity.
