Extended Range Chicken Run

More Room to Roam. Built to Withstand. Double the space. Same peace of mind.

Your flock’s space shouldn’t feel limited. The Extended Range Run adds 10.8 square feet of secure roaming room to your existing enclosure, giving your birds more space to forage, dust bathe, and move naturally — without sacrificing protection.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with Smart Coop systems, this modular run extension can also be adapted to other compatible chicken coop structures when dimensions align and secure fastening is used. Its balanced footprint of 49 inches long, 32 inches wide, and 55 inches high makes it suitable for many backyard setups seeking additional enclosed space.

More room to roam should never mean more vulnerability. This extension expands your run while maintaining structural integrity and predator resistance.

Engineered for Real Predator Pressure

Backyard predators are persistent. Raccoons test wire. Foxes probe edges. Hawks look for openings.

That’s why this run extension is built from 10-gauge welded galvanized steel panels wrapped in ½-inch powder-coated steel mesh. The reinforced lower half of each panel features ½-inch mesh specifically to reduce reach-through attempts and strengthen ground-level protection, where most predator pressure occurs.

This is not lightweight poultry netting. It is structural steel framing designed for long-term outdoor exposure and serious backyard security.

Thoughtful setup is what transforms a run from enclosed to secure.

Please note that prototype photos may display outdated 1-inch mesh. All current customer units match the Smart Coop Run system and include reinforced ½-inch mesh on the lower portion of each panel for enhanced protection.

Modular by Design

The Extended Range Run was engineered as a clean, modular expansion. It connects directly to Smart Coop systems with an intuitive click-and-secure alignment that maintains both stability and appearance.

Because of its structured steel frame and standardized dimensions, it may also be adapted to other compatible coop frames provided measurements are confirmed and secure attachment is achieved. Customers integrating with non-Smart Coop systems are responsible for verifying alignment and ensuring safe installation.

This flexibility allows you to expand your flock’s footprint without replacing your existing setup.

One extension adds 10.8 square feet. Multiple extensions can be added to continue expanding your protected roaming area as your flock grows.

Why Space Matters

Chickens thrive when they have room to express natural behaviors.

Overcrowding can lead to stress, feather damage, pecking disputes, and reduced egg production. Increasing usable square footage supports scratching, foraging, wing stretching, and dust bathing — all essential to flock health.

Providing adequate space isn’t just about comfort. It’s about long-term wellbeing and stability within your flock.

Education is part of responsible chicken keeping.

Built to Last Outdoors

Dimensions measure 49 inches in length, 32 inches in width, and 55 inches in height.

All materials are selected for durability, weather resistance, and everyday backyard use across seasons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this only work with Smart Coop systems?
It is designed to integrate seamlessly with Smart Coop setups. However, it may be adapted to other coop structures when dimensions align and secure attachment is used. We recommend verifying measurements before purchase.

How much space does this add?
Each extension adds 10.8 square feet of protected roaming space.

Can I add more than one extension?
Yes. The modular design allows multiple units to be connected, expanding your run incrementally as needed.

Is ½-inch mesh necessary?
Yes. Half-inch mesh reduces the risk of reach-through predator attacks and strengthens ground-level protection.

Does this make my coop completely predator-proof?
No system is completely predator-proof without proper installation and site preparation. Ground anchoring and perimeter reinforcement are essential for full protection. We recommend reviewing our Predator Proofing Guide for best practices.

How long does installation take?
When attaching to a Smart Coop system, most customers complete installation in minutes using the integrated connection design. Installation time may vary when adapting to other coop structures.
