Are Roost and Root Chicken Coops Worth It?

Yes, Roost and Root chicken coops are absolutely worth the investment —they outshine flimsy, imported competitors that often fail within a few seasons, leaving you with costly replacements and stressed birds. With more than 10,000 sold and literally millions of eggs laid in Roost & Root Coops every year… you’re guaranteed a great experience. Here’s why a premium Roost and Root coop beats the competition hands down: Superior materials for unmatched durability : Crafted in the USA with top-grade cedar board lumber (not cheap, thin stuff prone to warping and decay), ensuring your coop withstands harsh weather, UV exposure, and years of use without rotting or becoming weak. Lasting craftsmanship built to endure : Larger, precision-engineered panels with pre-attached 16-gauge galvanized welded livestock wire—no plywood or shoddy construction here. This thoughtful design minimizes weak points, delivering a structure that’s far more robust than mass-produced knockoffs or other competitive coops. Predator-safe protection you can trust : Extremely secure wiring and reinforced features keep out foxes, raccoons, and other threats, unlike budget coops with thin mesh that predators easily breach—giving you peace of mind 24/7. Low maintenance for effortless ownership : Designed to require minimal upkeep, with weather-resistant cedar that naturally repels pests and moisture, saving you time and money on repairs compared to high-maintenance particleboard options. Easy assembly and superior animal welfare : Smart Kits™ allow a 2-person DIY setup without frustration; designs provide ample space for hens, promoting healthier flocks and better egg production—features other coops struggle to match. If you’re asking “are Roost and Root coops worth it?”, the answer is a resounding yes—they deliver lifelong value through reliability, safety, and performance that outclasses the competition every time, paying for themselves in reduced hassles, happier hens and more eggs.

A Crazy Smart & Easy Way to Keep 10 Hens

We wanted to create a high-quality walk-in style coop that could hold at least 10 hens and it turned out that an A-Frame design did the trick. After 400+ hours of 3D CAD design and prototyping, new innovative CNC machining techniques, and sub-assemblies to reduce assembly time… we were happy 🙂 The main idea of this coop is to be able to house 10 hens for the best bird/dollar price, ship wisely, and assemble more easily. We have thousands of satisfied customers all over the US and Canada and are confident our coops will be a big part of the joy you will get from your backyard flock and look great doing it year after year.

Airflow in your coop is your biggest concern whether it’s summer or winter. Roost & Root Coops use passive updraft ventilation in the roost areas to protect your sleeping chickens year-round from inclement weather while at the same time making sure they get critical ventilation, key to their respiratory health during hot & cold seasons and in particular, protection from frostbite in sub-zero temperatures.

Considerations for Zones 2-6

Snow/Storm Panels: Extreme storms can bring too much of a good thing to the outdoor areas of any coop. Our snow/storm panels are for the run areas of your coop and add temporary extra protection for extreme sideways-driven stormy weather in hot or cold seasons. Panels keep sideways rain and wind-driven snow from making things too sloppy in the run areas that chickens hang out in during the day. They are designed to be attached and detached during inclement conditions in warm or cold seasons, only when needed.

Panels are “transparent” for maximum clarity but they also can provide some shade. Where needed, ventilation is added to panels to make sure they do not cut off too much air circulation while still being able to protect your flock from… umm, fowl weather. Panels will not make your coop “waterproof” but will knock out the vast majority of wind-driven snow and rain in the “outdoor” run areas.

Freeze Protection: All coop waterers are shipped with a slotted cap that allows the water to breathe air as the water goes down. We make the slot big enough to allow a cord of an immersible heater to go through too. Based on feedback, submersible fish tank-style heaters work best. Presumably, it keeps the body of water in the tank warmer.

Poultry Nipples: Keeping the water from freezing is half of the battle. The nipple can freeze too if exposed to a direct sub-zero wind chill. That’s why we create and sell a No Freeze 3D Printed Poultry Nipple that you may want to consider as an optional upgrade if you live somewhere cold.

Considerations for Zones 7-10

Living somewhere that experiences up to triple-digit weather can be bothersome not only for you but your chickens too. As you can see with all of our coops, heavy-gauge wired panels not only provide protection but offer an adequate amount of ventilation for your birds during the hottest of months. It’s critical to always maintain your bird’s waterer. You can also provide cold treats for your flock to beat the heat as well. For further tips on how to keep your birds cool in the summer, visit our blog post below.

How to Keep Your Chickens Cool in the Summer Heat

A Bright Way To Keep Out The Cold Winds & Snow In The Winter… Take Them Off When Things Warm Up!

Live somewhere cold? No problem, we’ve got you covered. Almost every breed of adult chicken when kept dry and out of the wind chill are very, very cold hardy… even in sub zero temperatures. So if you can keep the water from freezing, the snow from accumulating in the run areas and keep sub zero winds off your flock… they’re good to go. And our Storm Panels let in critical light during short winter days. Attach and detach 3D-printed retaining clips from wired panels.

Coop waterers are shipped with a slotted cap that allows the water to breathe air as the water goes down.

We make the slot big enough to allow a cord of an immersible heater to go through too.

See the Easy-Fill Waterer & Storm Panel accessory pages for your model coop for more details. There are links to buy the heaters that fit from Amazon or other stores.

We designed the Round-Top Chicken Loft™ to be easily assembled by two people of average skill in about 2-3 hours. All needed tools and fasteners are included in the box with a set of current instructions. You provide a cordless drill and some elbow grease. A small level is handy but not required. A level app on your smartphone will work great!

Handyman Hotline: If at anytime you (or your handyman) needs support that the instructions or videos don't answer, just call us. You can even have your handyman call us in advance so that when they show up to assemble your coop they're already up to speed.

The printed instructions that come with your coop and the .pdf file above are always the latest version.

Our goal is for the purchase of your new chicken coop to be as surprise-free as possible. In our “What to Expect” section we take our experiences with 10’s of thousands of customers and try to outline things we’ve learned that are consistently important. And of course, if there is some concern that we’re not addressing, just call us at 877-741-2667 and we’ll help you out in person.

		Read carefully all the information about a product. We’re not trying to hide anything, but to keep web pages less cluttered, many details are organized in tabs or toggles.

		Carefully review the information on your cart page. We try to answer questions there too.

		Wherever you see the info icon or “Note”, we’re trying to bring something to your attention.

		Most of our products are delivered via freight because of their large size. We package your purchase carefully to protect it during transit. How your item is treated after it leaves our facility is outside our control, but we will make right any shipping damage whether it’s our fault or not.

		Shippers will contact you by phone to arrange for your order to be dropped off at an accessible location at the delivery address. Products are designed so that individual pieces can be transported by hand to their final place of assembly.

		Written instructions are provided for each order and “assembly overview” videos are available for almost everything we sell to give customers a good idea of what is involved in assembling your purchase before you buy. Most of our products are designed to be assembled by 2 people and in all cases, by people of ordinary skills. We rely on you having a cordless drill, maybe a hammer, and in some cases, a tape measure. Digital copies of the instructions are on each product page and also in the help section.

		We try to write instructions for a balance of visual and written use. If you hire a contractor, you’ll want to make sure they read instructions too. Our products cannot be assembled as intended without using the instructions. If you or your contractor do have problems during assembly, you can either call or text us.

		Accessories are made to work with our products. We do not warrant their use with products other than those that they are intended for.

		Temporary snow loads of ~ 24″ – 30″ deep ordinary snow on the roof have been accounted for. That’s a lot of snow. However, snow should be knocked off often when possible. The icing on the edges of the roof may need to be addressed as well.

We know you have options when it comes to purchasing your new chicken coop or garden products, but we’re confident that we will meet or exceed your expectations, and here’s why…

#1 We’re real people! Our company is made up of real outdoor-loving people, just like you, and we’re excited to share our knowledge. We don’t just sell products, we use them ourselves, every day. We do what we do every day of the week, and we love answering questions about what we sell.

#2 We’re not just a .com: We’re not just another drop-shipping pop-up site that someone started in their basement to make money. We started our business the old-fashioned way using friends and family and by hard work and great customer service have grown it into something that not only supports our family but supports dozens of other families too.

#3 We take it personally: We make what we sell and truly take it personally if you’re not 100% satisfied with your experience. We want to earn your business, not just for today, but for many years to come. We understand the power of good relationships and the trust that can only be created from following through on the big and little things alike. We’re still human and we make mistakes, but it’s how we handle them that makes us different.
We’ve thoughtfully designed all our coops to make chicken keeping easy and enjoyable. We take great pride in their design and hope you love using them as much as we do. Over the years, we’ve learned a lot—both from experience and from our customers—about the gear that can make keeping chickens in our coops even better.

If you ever have questions about our coop design features or chicken keeping in general, we’d love to help give us a call 877-741-2667 or text us at 512-334-6610!

Waterer Heater

Our waterers pair perfectly with a submersible fish tank heater. Drop it into the waterer tube, run the cord out the slotted cap, and your chickens will have fresh water all winter. Works with both standard and freeze guard nipples.

Submersible Fish Tank Heater: Fully submersible, thermostat-controlled fish tank-style heater. Avoid immersion-style coffee or soup heaters—they won’t work.

Cord Cover: A weatherproof cover helps protect cords running out to the coop.

Tip: Wattage depends on climate. In most areas, 50–100 watts is plenty. Not sure? Reach out—we’re happy to share what’s worked for 100s of customers.

Winter Accessories

Chickens are naturally very cold-hardy (we recommend reading this blog post before your first winter). In most cases, they do just fine with fresh water, a dry coop, and good ventilation—even in subzero temperatures.

Our first recommendation is our custom-fit Storm Panel Sets, which keep cold wind and snow out of the coop while still allowing proper ventilation. We have thousands of customers using our Storm Panels throughout the winter with great success and no issues.

If you’re still concerned about the cold in your area, please give us a call 877-741-2667 or text us at 512-334-6610! Every setup is different, and our recommendations depend on your location and weather patterns.

We also strongly suggest avoiding heat lamps or open heating elements, as our cedar coops make those a serious fire risk.

Keep in mind: Too much supplemental heat can prevent birds from fully feathering. If power is lost during a cold spell, they may not have their natural insulation.

Feed Scoop

Totally optional, but having the right tool makes chores easier. These scoops fit perfectly in our square-shaped feeders and make filling them quick and tidy.

Plastic Feed Scoop

Stainless Steel Feed Scoop

Cleaning Tools

Keeping your coop clean is easier with the right tools. Check out our blog post for full cleaning tips. Use a grill brush or similar tool to scrape roost bars and egg boxes. A rake helps clean up droppings from the ground to reduce odor and keep chickens happy.

Chicken Coop Light

Shorter daylight hours in fall and winter often mean fewer eggs. Adding a light inside the coop helps simulate sunrise and encourage steady laying through the colder months.

Chicken Coop Camera

Whether you can’t get enough of your chickens, want to check in while on vacation, or prefer to skip venturing out in cold weather, a camera makes it easy to keep an eye on your flock.

We love using an automatic chicken door! Our coops are designed to fit the standard-size Pullet Shut door from ChickenDoors.com (works with either right or left swing, so you can choose what fits your setup best).
