I agree with oz : ( how were air cells on these when u got them?
Two of the air cells were detached, I let them sit out for 24 hours but when I put them in I didn't think they'd make it. There was one that has what I assume was the saddle shaped air cell that I've read about.

Around that. But putting 10 hen boxes in there so it will be a little more. Not covered. The area it's in is 32x64. I make all my houses with fence pickets. This is going to be the roosters houses. 6x6. So the other one is 6 feet longer. Basically 2 of these connected.
