I found this on Amazon:
Chicken Coop Outlet Large Metal 20x10 ft Chicken Coop Backyard Hen House Cage Run Outdoor Cage
It is under $700 and I think it would work perfect attached to my coop. The price seems too good to be true- what am I missing? I couldn't find any reviews and my internet is too slow to upload a pic.
 
NO!!! It's covered in chicken wire, so no predator protection! You can use a cyclone fence dog run, often sold on craig's list, as a semi-safe run, and with upgrades, make it pretty good. A cattle panel hoop structure isn't hard to build and upgrade, either. Mary

Excellent point. I would be concerned about the tensile strength of the wire as well. You may end up reinforcing the original wire with hardware cloth if Mary is correct.

Yes Hokom Coco that is the one- the pics and description were not good enough for me to feel like I knew what I was buying.
 
Looks like there are no reviews yet.
Frame looks OK, but mesh is inadequate for predator deterrence....except hawks.
 
It's essentially a $200 portable garage frame with chicken wire zip-tied to it, any larger predator will be able to rip through the chicken wire and gain access in minutes if not seconds if they are determined...

For the nearly $800 it will cost after shipping and taxes you could do much better building your own hoop house or cattle panel frame covered in 1/2" hardware cloth...
 
Thanks - I currently have the rugged ranch universal walk in run w an extension. It is super well made but expensive. Just looking for options- my flock needs more room.
