Is there anything more cute than letting your chickens live in their own little barn? With tons of light and ventilation, your chickens will be very happy in the Horizon Structures™ Dutch Coop.
Designed for larger flocks of up to 18 chickens, the Horizon Structures™ Dutch Coop includes many features that make it comfortable for your flock and easy for you to gather eggs. You don't have to go into the coop to get the eggs ... just lift the panel and reach inside. Its eight roomy nest boxes, which your hens will naturally share, are easily accessible from outside the coop.
The Horizon Structures™ Dutch Coop has a large window on the front that has glass panes at both the top and bottom. You can raise the lower pane from inside the coop to allow fresh air inside through its outer screen - just like you do at home! Vinyl coated wire mesh that is fastened securely to the coop's exterior covers the screened portion of the window, keeping your precious birds safe from predators.
A large 54" wide x 7" high cut-out on the side of the coop allows in even more light and fresh air. Vinyl coated mesh covers the opening and protects the chickens inside the coop from would-be predators. A hinged wood panel with a twist latch allows you to close it tightly during inclement weather.
Two roost bar are included inside your Horizon Structures™ Dutch Coop. The upper roost bar is approximately 33" from the floor and 7" from the wall. The lower roost bar is about 21" from the floor and about 20" from the wall with approximately 12" between the two roost bars.
It's ceiling includes LP Techshield - a radiant barrier that helps keep your coop cooler inside.

Important note about residential freight deliveries:
All HORIZON STRUCTURES™ Chicken Coops are custom made and pre-built, meaning there is no assembly required on your part (Note: Chicken Runs ARE NOT pre-built so you do have a minimal amount of effort assembling those). The trucks back up to your prepared site and place the coop precisely where you want it.
HORIZON STRUCTURES™ uses an F550-type truck. Their trailers range from 24' - 48' in size giving them the flexibility to transport several pre-built coops and a variety of add-ons.
The normal delivery process works like this:
- Building arrives at your property
- Driver backs up to your prepared site
- The trailer is raised, using a hydraulic system, to enable the building to slide off the back.
- Using a winch, built in to the trailer, the driver moves the building about 1/3 down the length of the trailer so that the end is resting on the ground.
- Next, the driver slowly pulls forward allowing the rest of the building to slide off the trailer and into position.
- In the event that the building needs to be aligned or re-positioned, the trailers come equipped with a platform on the back. With the back of the building on the ground and the front resting on this platform, the building can be shifted up to 2' to the left or to the right before being placed completely on the ground.
- Finally, all doors and windows are checked to make sure they operate properly and are not stuck or jammed due to the building being off level or any twisting of the building during set-up.
In order to deliver the coop, please ensure that your coop site is accessible:
- Please make sure that there is access over a driveway or across relatively level, solid ground to the area you want your coop to be placed.
- Provide adequate clearance around any trees, plantings or other structures on the property.
- If they can drive straight onto your property, any fence opening or gate needs to be at least 12 feet wide.
- Overhead clearance should to be 14'.
- 50' to 60' minimum drive-away area from the end of the shed after it comes off the end of the trailer. This should be as level as possible from pad site to ground level.
IMPORTANT: If your site does not meet these requirements, we still may be able to deliver Please call us if you are in doubt!
