Rampart is positioned for larger flocks and small-farm buyers who need a commercial chicken run rather than a decorative backyard pen. The key value is tough galvanized commercial tone for rural predator pressure, backed by clear freight, assembly, and footprint expectations.

Treat 15-18 hens as a comfort planning range for active daytime movement. If hens will stay inside the run most of the day, favor the lower end of the range and keep water, shade, and dust-bath space available.
Rampart is an outdoor run, so daily success depends on where it sits. Choose high ground, tension the roof cover after the first rain, and inspect gate latches weekly. In predator-heavy areas, budget for the ground apron at the same time as the run.
Plan for 6-10 hours before moving birds in. LTL curbside freight from our US warehouse, usually 7-14 business days after dispatch. We recommend checking box contents before assembly and contacting support with photos if any part arrives damaged.
No. Rampart is a walk-in run enclosure, so hens still need a dry roosting coop for nighttime shelter.
Leave about 2 ft around the frame during assembly so panels, gate swing, and roof cover tension are easier to manage.
Add an outward or buried hardware-cloth apron where digging predators are common. The gate and mesh help above ground; the base needs local predator planning.
Picking the right commercial chicken run comes down to four checks every keeper should make before ordering: flock size today and in 12 months, predator pressure in your area, assembly time you can realistically commit, and climate exposure.
Every backyard chicken coop benefits from a few targeted upgrades. The most popular pairings with Rampart are:
Hot-dip galvanized frames last 15-20 years vs. 7-10 for standard. PVC-coated mesh resists rust where birds rub. The 2-year warranty on frame and hardware is a step up from the 1-year on standard runs. Built for scaled flocks or homestead setups that need long-term durability.
Most commercial runs ship LTL freight on a pallet. Curbside drop-off is included; lift-gate service is available on request. Plan for two adults to unload, or rent a hand truck for moving panels to the install site.
Plan a full weekend with one helper for the smaller commercial models, two days for the Magnum and Bastion. Power tools are not optional — a cordless impact driver saves several hours over hand-tightening.
Depends on your scaling plan. If you might double the flock in 2 years, commercial pays back. If 12 hens is a long-term cap, our standard walk-in chicken runs are likely the better value.
Yes — commercial runs work for mixed poultry. Turkeys need taller pop-doors and stronger perches; ducks need a kiddie pool or pond access. Send us a photo of your setup if you want a fit confirmation.
Standard padlock loops are pre-drilled in the gate. For rural sites where bird theft is a concern, add a shielded shrouded padlock and motion-sensor lighting.

Commercial-grade runs are sold by exterior footprint and square footage. Verify your install area has clearance on all sides before ordering. Capacity figures assume daytime run use; pair with a separate roost house if you keep hens overnight.
Heavy-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel tubing. PVC-coated welded wire mesh resists rust and bird damage longer than standard chicken wire. Reinforced corner brackets and ground anchors handle wind load and frame stress.
Built for 8-12 year outdoor service with routine cover replacement. Hot-dip galvanization is significantly more durable than electro-galvanized finishes used on entry runs. Replacement panels and parts are stocked.
PVC-coated mesh is harder for raccoons to grip and chew than standard hex wire. Lockable gate with security pin. For coyote-active areas, add a buried hardware cloth apron and consider an electric perimeter line.
Ships LTL freight on a pallet from our US warehouse. Carrier contacts you to schedule a curbside delivery window. Lift-gate service is standard. White-glove inside delivery and assembly are available at additional cost - contact us before ordering.
Typical build: 6-10 hours. Two- or three-person assembly recommended for the largest footprints. Tools: wrench set, cordless drill, level, ladder, post-hole driver (if anchoring). Plan a full weekend day for install.
30-day return window. 2-year warranty on frame and mesh. 1-year warranty on cover. Replacement parts and panels stocked. Priority email support and phone callbacks available.
Commercial runs are about footprint, freight access, and pairing with a separate coop house.
Premium runs ship LTL to curbside. Measure driveway width and level ground for the full exterior size.
Large flocks need 10–12 sq ft per standard hen when confined to the run most of the day.
These are run enclosures — add roosting shelter inside or connect to an existing coop with a predator-proof pop hole.
What large-flock and small-farm buyers need from heavy-gauge galvanized setups.
Built for multi-year outdoor service and larger flocks than standard backyard runs.
Commercial footprints give 15–40 hen capacity with stand-up access for daily chores.
LTL delivery to curbside with replacement panels and covers available through support.
Less work than wood — but mesh, cover, and ground contact still need attention.
Typical upkeep: 2–3 hours per year. No paint on galvanized frames.
Commercial-grade walk-in runs ship freight on a pallet. The process is straightforward but different from parcel shipping — here is what to expect from order day to install day.
Your run leaves our US warehouse on a freight pallet within 3-5 business days of order. We email you the BOL and tracking number.
The freight carrier contacts you to schedule a 4-hour curbside delivery window. Lift-gate service is included by default.
Driver lowers the pallet to your driveway or curb. Plan to move boxes to the install site yourself or arrange help — pallets weigh 400-1200 lbs.
Most premium walk-ins assemble in 6-12 hours with 2-3 people. Pre-sort hardware before unboxing and plan a Saturday-Sunday install.
Premium listings are run enclosures. Pair with a separate coop or connect via a pop hole.
LTL freight to curbside from our US warehouse. You will need help unloading long boxes.
Plan 10–12 sq ft per standard hen for birds confined to the run most of the day.
