They look like reliable materials I'd trust and HOORAY for them for being an American company, BUT I spent $3K to have my coop built and it 1) fits my needs and the space I had available, 2) it's made from the high grade materials I selected, 3) it's truly predator-proof extending down into the ground around it and 4) it holds a lot more chickens with much more space for them to be stress-free within. I can also stand up straight and move around in it with my flock.
Now I couldn't build a mailbox post if I were expecting a check for a million bucks any day now so the largest part of my expense was the labor of the carpenter I hired. I think if people needed to buy all new materials, as I did, and invested a third what I paid and some of their skilled time, they could have a freakin' chicken mansion that would be a one-time expense and that fit their needs nearly forever! Naturally, something smaller or adapting available materials would make it far more affordable yet.
But if someone didn't want the job of locating the right plans, etc. this might be just the ticket. I assume there's some serious assembly though.
