Mikeymancs Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hello! Well I have now got round to taking a few pics of the new setup. I have previously posted about my WIR, well I had issues with the cheap wooden hen house I bought off eBay, it finally dropped into bits a few weeks back. I had a good look on the Internet to see what options there were available to me. I knew that plastic was the way forward, so Clearly Omlet elglu was an option, but I also wanted to consider alternatives. I looked at the Omlet eglu, cube and go, also looked at green frog and doodlehouse. The costs varied wildly! In the end I decided on the Solway Eco Loft. I managed to get a really good deal on an ex display one they had ... Managed to get for sub £150 delivered! It are really is great, very solid and robust. It is so easy to clean and the hens love it! I am impressed with the whole product. It may not be as 'finished'. As the Omlet products, but it certainly very good value for what you get. Here are some pics of the setup now... http://s1178.photobucket.com/albums/x374/mikeymancs1/ I still find that some rain is getting into the run, but on the whole it's dry. I think the wind direction is the issue, so may look to put some tarps up as a temp measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy ben grace Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Looks really good, very neat and tidy! I like the look of the solway coop, well done you for getting a bargain. I did the same as you and bought a wooden coop to begin with, it was pretty rubbish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
