    Big, easy assembly - Apex Duo henhouse

    Easy purchase online, quickly disassembled and loaded onto the trailer for the long trip home.
    These were the early highlights.
    Assembly. Three words. Piece of cake. Took under two hours by one person with an extra set of hands to hold bits. Instructions, when required, were easy to follow.
    Was painted inside and out before assembly which makes it a lot easier. 
    Very happy with the henhouse.

    Duo Apex Hen House

    My hens moved into their new hen house this week and they are thrilled.
    The perches are a huge hit! They think they are very smart chickens now 😊
    We had one of those big wind storms the night they moved in and you can tell how secure they feel now.
    They were relaxed in the morning and there was no stress smelling chicken scat.
    So a very big thank you from my girls and myself.

    Fantastic service and product.

    We ordered a chook house from Appletons. Great service, had it shipped to Auckland, then uplifted it from Mainfreight and transported to Great Barrier Island. Great product, great people to deal with. Easy peasy to assemble!! Highly recommended.

    Apex Duo Hen House

    I ordered a customized Du0 Apex for my Silkies. Fionna and Gordon were very helpful and adapted the plan perfectly to accommodate my short legged fluffy headed chickens! It is well made, solid and I'm very happy to give a 5 star rating. Thanks very much!

    Happy chickens!!

    We are so incredibly happy with our new chook house! Not only was it super easy to put together (great, easy to follow instructions) but it looks absolutely wonderful in place of our old chook house. We chose a colour steel roof in green which made it look perfect. The duo apex was a perfect choice for us, we could not recommend Appletons enough, great service, great product. Very happy customers (and chickens).

    Superb

    We set the ‘Duo’ up this morning - it took a couple of hours to put together and longer to get the site level. It fitted together perfectly and the instructions were helpful and simple. Thank you. It looks fantastic and ready for the chooks to arrive this coming week.

    I'm a Happy Camper!

    So, 6 months on: I'm a happy camper! The only advice I would offer re: your marketing was that I hadn't figured out the extent to which the house was so 'ready to assemble'. I'd set aside a day with one of our 20 year olds to put it together, and we were done in an hour.
    Thanks, great product!

    Hi Fionna and the Team, Our chook house arrived in Napier in very good order, we decided it was more convenient for my husband to collect it from there. My husband and son had it together in three and a half hours. We are very impressed with it. Thank you for your excellent service.

    Duo Apex Chook House

    We just received our chook house. It is so sturdy and well made, and a breeze to put together by a less than handy husband. I'm so pleased with it, and the chooks are too. The roost are very strong and well spaced, and it is very secure from predators. Thank you for your amazing service.

    Handy Drop-down Roosts | Fold away for easy cleaning

    Things To Consider | Layout, pop-holes, roof colour, rolled gutters

    Give careful consideration where you are going to position your hen house.

    Layout?

    Best Position and Access
    Carefully consider the placement of your hen house. Position solid walls to protect against prevailing wind and rain. It is advised to orient the front mesh panel towards the sun, as sunlight is beneficial. Ensure easy access to nest boxes, as egg collection is a daily task. Additionally, provide ample space for accessing the person door, particularly for cleaning, allowing room for a wheelbarrow.

    Appletons timber duo apex hen house

    Need Additional Chicken Access?

    Chook Pop-holes
    One pop-hole is adequate BUT if you are wanting to alternate your flocks free-range time then consider adding another pop-hole. If you have a paddock to the rear of the hen house and a run off the front then alternate their free range between these two areas. Keep them safe in the run (whilst you are at work) and give them access to free range at the weekends (when you are home) This will require two pop-holes; one in the front and an additional one where required.

    Upgrade to a Roof Colour?

    Upgrade Roof Colour to Coloursteel Endura
    The roof, flashings, and ridge capping are constructed from galvanized corrugated iron. For those seeking a specific roof colour, please choose from the Colorsteel Endura Range. (please google latest range online) Upgrading to a Colorsteel Endura roof enhances aesthetics, reduces glare associated with galvanized iron, and complements your home and outbuildings effectively.

    Rolled gutter detail

    Add a Rolled Gutter?

    Additional Rolled Gutter
    A rolled gutter is standard on the front of your hen house (front mesh panel). We can add another rolled gutter in galvanized iron if needed, or if you want a roof colour, choose the Colorsteel Endura option. Rolled gutters look good and remove the sharp corro-iron edge, which could be at head height for some. If you can walk around your hen house, it's best to choose two rolled gutters. A rolled gutter also guides water to the gutter ends, preventing a dripline.

    Need a Run? | Keep your flock safe from predators

    The Apex Hen House can accommodate an optional standard run out the front or the back of the hen house measuring 2.6m x 2.4m

    Optional Run (2.6m x 2.4mx 1.9mH)

    The Duo Apex Hen House offers an optional run, accessible from either the front or rear. An enclosed, secure area adjacent to any hen house is recommended providing outdoor access for your chickens. This allows the chickens from one house to roam freely in the paddock or garden, while those from the other remain within the run. A run enhances security, protecting your hens from predators and preventing them from entering your flower or vegetable gardens.
