Absco Chicken Coop

Bought two- missing pieces- had to get a carpenter to put together. Drilling metal into metal- no holes lined up. One door fell straight off/ the hinge just fell off with the tiny screws- the other got pushed through when trying to get it to close. Took hours of them trying to work out how to assemble. Manufacturer wanted nothing to do with it.… Read more

given you can buy a id range omelet or any other products for same price I would say- do not bUY!! Never managed to order a bigger heap of rubbish than these.

This coop is absolute garbage. No screws line up, mesh doesn't fit. Installation plan was about as much use as toilet roll. Tiny 10mm screws stripped themselves as soon as any tension was applied. If it wasn't bought through work, it would have been thrown in the scrap bin. 2 men 5 hours on it and still not finished. Going to have a beer after work to de-stress after the absolute brain fry of a day assembling this pile of junk! Show details

Possibly the worst product I could have purchased for my chooks. Next time I will be building in brick. It will be just easier than this. Where this fails is in the flimsy way it's put together along with the APPALLING instructions. The "manual" is just bad. Really really bad. It get monocoque construction, Cars are a perfect example of it done… Read more

well, but this is just not that well done. Not by a long shot. I am half expecting it to blow over in the wind and have put about 30 extra pop rivets in it to help. The little screws they supply are just for alignment really (when the holes actually line up) and I have no faith in them holding it up. For someone who prides themselves on being very handy and can figure out most problems on the job this is "shed" is just a nightmare. From the inaccuracies in the instructions to things like lots of extra holes that are not needed (and often don't line up) in the metal pieces supplied leading to many hours of figuring it out the hard way. There were even some obviously hand drilled extra holes in the metal channels. Appalling quality control at the factory. Ikea alignment and instruction quality this is defiantly NOT. So unless you are willing to design it as you go along yourself then steer away from this rubbish. Oh and before someone chimes in and mentions the video "tutorials"... no they too are pretty light on detail and there is not one for this particular product in any case. P.S. Bunnings refused to put this review up.

brought 1.52x1.52 for our Budgies – Love the finished product I am good with tools and Problem solving which made it a bit easier for me. Yes a lot of the pre drilled holes did not line up so I redrilled them. Didn't like video but paper instructions were OK had to just take my time but in the end all good. I put a weather door seal on the bottom of door as there was a gap that… Read more ·  1

might allow budgies to escape. The budgies love it I cleaned down the mesh with water and vinegar as instructions. So all good. Purchased at Bunnings

Service received – Hi, We recently bought a chicken coop for you guys. It was a rewarding process putting it together with my husband. We noticed we were missing two parts from the feeder and drinker. We wrote in and Charlotte responded straight away with all the helpful information she needed to us to provide to organise a replacement. Thank you for the amazing service Charlotte!

Do not buy! – Lots of the predrilled holes don't match up. Completely terrible to put together. We are used to working with metal, and have all the tools and had to redo most of it ourselves and build a wooden frame also. Pieces just didn't fit together. Show details

Absolute low grade rubbish product – Horrible design and workmanship. Their app does not work, tells me to install YouTube it's already installed, bad start. Holes don't align upto 20mm out, on their website they say if holes don't align insert screws at an angle lol not possible if the the holes are misaligned by up to 20mm. The mesh screens out of square, again holes don't align.… Read more

As feared with all the misaligned holes once assembled the door won't close it hits on frame. Instructions are useless, it's impossible to tell how some parts go together etc. Then I found their video online again rubbish. The voice over tells you for example find part 89A then the installer on video shows part 89B so which part do I use?? lol The video makes it look like an easy assembly do not be fooled !!! 30% of holes simply do not line up, do not buy I will be taking it back.

Bad experience – Lack of proper or clear instructions, mesh screens not cut square in their respective frames , these were a cut two full squares difference between top an bottom of screens Screw holes not lining up or not punched, 20mm plus difference between rear of roof side flashing and front needing cutting to correct . Some channels too long by about 20… Read more

mm Must have been manufactured late on a Friday Not worth the money that we paid for it near $456 I do not recommend this unless you are prepared for the head aches that go with it

Wow never again – First time buying this product and will be the last , 1. Instructions are not easy to follow . 2. Holes don’t line. 3. Some of the cut Framework is cut too short. 4. Over priced for low grade product. Show details

Chook shed is frustrating it does not need to be so. I am sick of bloody kit things. Next time I will build my own – Frustrating . Chook shed is frustrating it dose not need to be so. I am sick of bloody kit things .next time I will build my own. Frustrating frustrating video can be hard to understand. Manual some photos are not good.

i need an installer – i am unable to follow the instructions, to me they are not clear. i do need help, i have tried twice. Do you have any installers in Melbourne please. 3 meter aviary chicken coop. Show details

Aviary – The shed meets my needs for a roomy aviary for small birds; also providing up front and two side panels of gauze for air flow and viewing. There is a secure door with lock. The instructions to build were not user friendly and panel holes were not in alignment. This shed requires a knowledgeable person to adjust requirements and two or three to assist. Show details ·  1

Excellent Coop – This is a very well-made, Australian chicken coop. Material is of high quality. The assembly instructions at first glance looked tricky, however, after reading through it all first, it was actually quite simple to put together. It's very sturdy on the ground - highly recommend. Show details ·  1

Great value aviary – Great value for money, very sturdy and easy to put together. Our budgies are secure and safe in their new aviary. Thank you AINSLEY and Simply Sheds for stocking a great brand Show details ·  1

Perfect bird avairy – great bird aviary but i am using as a dog kennel for my breeding female blue heller . She loves it and sleeps very comfortably in it every night. Hides in it when it thunders. Easy to erect and very well built.  Show details ·  1

Chook Shed – Great it came in 1 box but was very heavy. Parts missing which still haven't arrived. Took longer than first thought to arrive. Great customer service, prompt reply to email and phone calls. Shed is same as described when ordered.  Show reply

Do not purchase – Pre-drilled holes do not line up. The product is marketed as “pre-drilled” but I spent most of the assembly drilling holes either because they were not there or so far out of alignment I had to drill new ones. The instructions list tools needed at the start of the assembly instructions but fail to mention tin snips until you are almost finished.  Show details

Terrible product – Don’t buy. Save your money and buy a better aviary. Bought from Bunnings. Aviary is not square, door flings open, mesh is rusty after 4 months. Multiple holes in the wrong spot or missing. Customer service doesn’t want to help and gives basic responses. Problem we have now is we have a bird so can not return to Bunnings.  Show details

A good product let down slightly by poor quality control – This aviary is well thought out and made of quality materials, I had some problems with holes that don't line up or are not there, but they were easily fixed with a drill. I had some missing parts but Ron Santos from Absco was extremely helpful and sorted it all out for me. Customer service from this company is highly recommended, Thanks Ron for your hard work.  Show details ·  1

Pure frustration – Drove 100km round trip to pick up our special order aviary that we waited over a month to come in. After getting home and unpacking it we discovery absco have put a smaller aviary in the box (box had correct model number on it so no way to know prior to opening). After speaking to [Name Removed] on phone now have to wait for them to collect the aviary and delivery hopefully the correct one. Afternoon wasted. Very frustrated and disappointed. Show details

Space saving solution, for small yards – Galvanised product which ensures it will last for many years. Components are clearly marked and it is easy to identify. Assembly instructions are good and clear, but some finer detail about which way to fit some of the supports, is not that clear. I assembled the cage by myself and it took the better part of a complete day. Much better if two… Read more ·  1

people can assemble as the panels need to be secured in place, to be screwed together. Very happy with how neat and tidy it looks and it fits in well into my small yard. Due to it's compact size (W:152cm, D: 78cm and H: 180cm), the cage is sturdy enough to be moved, without taking it apart, if required.

Bird Avery mesh issue – I had a problem with the mesh on my bird Avery and Ron Santos in customer service has had the problem resolved very quickly.I would buy from this company again.  Show details ·  1

Easy to install, perfect size – The whole product is so easy to install, only there’s missing materials in the box. The manufacturer (Clark) representative is very accommodating when told about the issues. Mobile no: [number removed] Show details ·  1

excellent aviary for our lorikeets – great aviary .....the manual not so good needs more explanation and directives. picked up flat pack from Bunnings only to find 2 pieces missing, but didn't stop us from erecting though, as they were not integral parts. Cristelle was very helpful in getting the missing parts to us very promptly. Thank you! overall very good and very satisied Show details ·  1

Great product. Suits what I need perfectly – Missing parts on receiving. Clark Macasio was very professional in getting the parts sorted and sent out very quickly. Bigger than I thought it was going to be but the birds love it.  Show details

Absco chicken coop A23151GKFD – Took 4 months to receive product, came with wrong instructions, once I got the correct instructions they are as clear as mud. So many holes but hardly any line up. Very poor aviary ended up at the tip after 3 days of trying to understand there instructions that have very little writing and a few 2d pictures. Absco's online videos are really not helpful his parts all line up. To many parts and to many steps. Wouldn't recommend product to anyone.
