First of all, the instructions are horrible. I threw them away. Second, the wire is flimsy. I should have bought a dog kennel and put chicken wire around that. It says predators will not get in. If a wolf wanted to get in here, it would not have any problem ripping it apart. I didn't put wire on the floor because, chickens like to scratch and eat bugs. The wire would hurt their feet. I am going to be buying heavy duty lattice wood to encase this pen to make it really sturdy because a heavy wind would take this pen right away. Heavy snow would do the same thing. You get what you pay for.
