Sample review
Set it up on a Saturday morning, took maybe twenty minutes with a drill. Panel's on the roof, door's been opening at 6:30 and closing at 7:45 every day since. Haven't touched it in three weeks.

Reviews. From the coop.
Sample review
We had a raccoon get two hens last spring so I was nervous. The door closes tight and the girls figured out the schedule in about two days. The remote is handy when I'm on the porch.
Sample review
Works exactly like it says. Four stars only because the instruction sticker is small and I needed my glasses to set the clock. Once it's set you forget it's there.

Description
The ChookGate Solar Coop Door opens the coop at the time you set each morning and shuts it again at night, on its own, every day. The solar panel keeps it charged, so there is no cord to run and nothing to plug in.
Set the open and close times once on the controller, or press a button on the remote from the back porch. The aluminium door slides shut on a toothed rack, so raccoons, foxes and neighbourhood dogs cannot lift it.
Prefer batteries? The Battery Coop Door is the same door without the panel.
