Chicken Coop Winter Storm Shields (Polycarbonate run covers) are an effective way to keep out the snow, sleet, and cold winds from your chicken run in the winter, while keeping in the daylight. Chickens can handle the cold temps, but it’s the cold drafts and sleet that can be detrimental to their health.
Our coop winter storm shields (polycarbonate chicken coop run covers) easily screw on and off to your run area. Even though your run is covered, our winter storm shields keep out the harsh winter elements from the sides of your run.
This keeps the run area dry and draft-free while still allowing the natural light to come through. If your chicken run is dry, it’s much more enjoyable and healthy for your flock.
Polycarbonate is a durable, strong, light-weight material and holds up longer to extreme temperatures. Although it has high impact-resistance, it has low scratch-resistance and is highly transparent to visible light, with better light transmission than many types of glass. It will not yellow like plexiglass does.
Our coop storm shields are cut to size and predrilled to fit on our runs.
If you want a different size, please contact us. Perfect addition for people in the Northern U.S. and Canada.
BELOW IS THE USDA PLANT HARDINESS ZONE MAP
If you live in ZONE 7 – ZONE 13, you WILL NOT need our winter storm shields.
If you live in ZONE 6, you may benefit from our winter storm shield if you get heavy snow or strong, cold winds often in the winter. (If you do use the storm shields, we suggest leaving the front side open.)
If you live in ZONE 1 – ZONE 5, you may want to consider our winter storm shields to protect your flock from snow, cold winds, and sleet in the winter months.
Remember, chickens do better in the cold than the heat. Our storm shields are just to keep your chicken run dry and draft free in the extreme winter weather.
