I use this to open the enclosure to my hen house so it is fully exposed to the elements. I think I am going to have to construct a roof over it to protect the wooden side rails, other than that I absolutely love this thing. It works brilliantly and puts me at ease if I forget to close the hens in and wake up at three in the morning in a panic. Hope it doesn't fail. So far so great.
Feb 8 2018 Update: Absolutely love this thing. The birds are trained to it and are inside before the door shuts. One hen learned the hard way and got shut out until I rescued her and now she is the first one in. Batteries seem to last forever. Excellent product, highly recommended.
