Ripom Automatic Solar Chicken Coop Door – Roll-Up Black, Timer & Remote, Anti-Pinch Aluminum

Ripom's solar-powered automatic roll-up chicken coop door opens and closes on schedule while protecting birds from predators and weather with a compact, anti-pinch design.

This photovoltaic, remote-controlled coop door removes daily hassles by combining light-sensor automation, a programmable timer, and a reversible safety motor into a durable aluminum unit. It fits tight headroom spaces because the fabric door rolls up instead of sliding, and the weatherproof housing performs across wide temperature ranges. Installation is intended for wooden coops and comes with mounting hardware so backyard poultry keepers can get set up quickly.

How does the solar power and backup charging keep the door working reliably?

The integrated solar panel charges an internal battery so the Ripom door runs without mains wiring or constant battery swaps. It stores energy to operate on overcast days and includes optional backup charging for extended cloudy periods or heavy use.

• High-efficiency solar panel for daily charging
• Internal rechargeable battery stores power for nighttime and low-sun days
• Backup charging port for supplemental power when needed
• No permanent electrical wiring required

Can I control open and close times to match my flock’s routine?

Yes—the door uses both a light sensor for automatic sunrise/sunset operation and a built-in timer for custom schedules. Use the timer when you want precise opening or closing moments regardless of ambient light, or let the sensor handle natural cycles for hands-off convenience.

• Light-sensor mode opens at dawn and closes at dusk
• Programmable timer for exact open/close times
• Remote control lets you operate the door manually from a distance
• Flexible modes let you combine automatic and manual control

What safety and predator protections are included?

The door motor includes anti-pinch technology that stops and reverses if it detects an obstruction, reducing injury risk for chickens and preventing gear jams. The robust closing mechanism and aluminum construction also help resist common predators and environmental wear.

• Anti-pinch motor stops and reverses on obstruction
• Secure closure helps block raccoons, foxes, and stray animals
• Rust-resistant aluminum housing for long-term durability
• Weatherproof seals protect electronics from moisture and dust

Will this door fit my coop and how hard is installation?

The roll-up design is especially suited for coops with limited overhead space because the panel winds up instead of sliding into a header. It’s engineered for wooden coop walls and comes with the necessary hardware to make mounting straightforward for most backyard builders.

• Roll-up curtain reduces required headroom compared to sliding doors
• Designed primarily for wooden coop walls and frames
• Included mounting hardware speeds up the installation process
• Clear mounting points and simple wiring-free setup minimize tools and time

Who this is for: Ripom’s automatic chicken coop door suits small-scale poultry keepers, hobby farmers, and anyone who wants a low-maintenance, weatherproof solution to secure their flock. It's ideal if you need an option that avoids running mains power, requires limited headroom, and prioritizes animal safety with anti-pinch features and predator-resistant construction. Choose this model if you want programmable convenience (timer and remote), solar autonomy, and a compact roll-up profile for cramped coop spaces.
