Predator proofing the coop

[Chestnut Buttercup]

We just finished the new chicken coop. We bought the coop from peavey mart and added a run to it. I was wondering if this is raccoon proof? I’m just worried the coop door is thin. Thanks!

Raccoons are able to easily open sliding bolts. Some method must be employed to lock the sliding action using a carabiner or padlock. It's not easy to see in your photos if you have such a system for those bolts.

If you have a significant raccoon problem, adding a small fence charger and electric hot wire around the coop and run will get these critters to significantly back off. It's an effective deterrent to foxes and bears and skunks, as well.
