SmartKits™: More than Just DIY
All Roost & Root designs are optimized using SmartKits™ standards—hand-crafted to save you (or your handyman) time, effort, and money, while delivering superior results. SmartKits include pre-built, panelized parts that are strong, weather-resistant, and secure against predators.

We’ve tested all of our products, and even our largest structures can be assembled with just two people.

Our Story: From Urban Coop Company to Roost & Root
Founded in 2013 as Urban Coop Company, our original mission was simple: to help people find their inner farmer by offering quality chicken coops. Since then, we’ve expanded our vision to include a wider range of backyard farm and garden lifestyle products. In 2020, we rebranded to Roost & Root to better reflect our commitment to sustainable living and homegrown food. We’ve grown a lot since 2013. From a small shed to a full wood working shop and a team of 15 talented employees, we’ve maintained the same dedication to craftsmanship and customer care that we started with. And as we continue to grow, our focus remains on YOU—ensuring that every product we create helps you live a healthier, more self-sufficient life, while also being easy to use and enjoy.
“We are new chicken owners and live in an urban neighborhood in nashville. We were deciding between two companies for a small coop for three chickens, and I called Roost and Root and had a really great customer service experience. I had a LOT of questions about our setup and what to prioritize in a chicken coop and they answered all my questions. We ordered the starter XL coop that day and my husband put it together in a few hours with the help of my 9 year old. It’s held up great the past few months and my chickens are so happy with great ventilation through the coop and plenty of room. I love the built in food and water system since we travel quite a bit and I know the girls are taken care of. So far no issues with any predators.” – Mary, 2024 Customer
