Fairly easy to build. Door calibration is automatic so no more holding of buttons up and down . The ratchet system better than the string one. Also good that batteries accessible without having to remove the front of the control unit.

Just recently installed and so far so good, well made and will hopefully last years.

This is my second chickenguard door the first one is still going strong and the new one is even better. Easier to install and operate and love the solar powered addition

The test will be when it's frosty

Easy to install works as expected, chickens no longer waiting to be let out 😊

What a great device. I’ve had one before many years ago. The new model is even better. Love the fact that you can have a solar panel incorporated which saves worrying about battery power. Great product, thank you!

Seems excellent but it's only been up and running for a couple of weeks. There are no cords or strings lifting or lowering the door so I like that although like a previous review the solar panel seems cheap and flimsy. It so far works well. The only other point I would make is that the 'extension kit'. This comes with a 1.5m extension cable for the programming unit that otherwise sits in the front of the actual door itself. I did not see, nor can I still reference to the cable only being 1.5 m long so be aware of that. It's pretty short and for my circumstances was useless. I tried using my own (ethernet) cable of a longer length but that would not work. Don't bother with that unless 1.5m (or less) extension works for you.

Received the Chicken Guard (set on timer). Very simple to set up, put together and fit. Works like a dream.

Good product made well works well simple to use probably last a good while for not a bad price

The door is really well made, the solar panel is cheap and flimsy so don’t expect it to last very long.
