Nacktschnecken omlet Cube

[SunnySideUp]

New owner of the Pro - upgraded from the cube.  The nest boxes are getting soaked during rain - all three of them.  The back side is completely wet inside.  We have checked and rechecked that it is together properly and all connections are tight.  We don't understand why this is happening.  The only thing we can think is that the design material is thinner than with the cube.  The seals are much thinner, the plastic is much thinner and the roof slant is much shorter and not as drastic as on the Cube.  The Pro, for it's money, is disappointing thus far.  Anyone else having an issue with the nests getting wet?

I have a omlet pro and it is getting wet inside where the nesting box is too. I was thinking it might be coming in from the vent but not sure. I am totally disappointed. My son in law said we could try fastening a tarp to the top of the run and stretch it across to some poles at a slope so the rain water would run off the tarp. I hope it will work. The indide needs to ne dry especially when winter comes.

Purchase an Extreme temperature cover.  It has a zippered back for access to the back door. Also cover the whole coop with a tarpaulin, attach tightly to the stand frame not the ground for stability.  Otherwise it will become a sail.

These coups are not 100% waterproof. Not sure if the Pro is the same as the Cube but there is a gap between the roof and the top of the sides, where you can reach in with your fingers. If the wind is strong enough, it will push the rain in. Strongly suggest as in my previous comment, invest in an Extreme temperature jacket, then cover with a tarpaulin to preserve the longevity of the jacket.

My son in law showed me inside my pro coop he could see light coming in. He said wherever you see gaps where light comes in that’s the place water can get in the coop. He wirked on tightening up both sides untill the cracks were closed. We’ve had rain since he tightened it up and no rain got in. I am going to use the insulated jacket.;

I was told when my son in law got the pro leveled all the gaps on the sides closed. No more wet spots inside the pro coop.
