Intake Shutter for Hoop Coops

Passive Air Intake Shutter for Hoop Coops

Keep fresh air moving through your hoop coop—without adding another powered component.

This Passive Air Intake Shutter for Hoop Coops allows outside air to enter your structure as warm, stale air is pulled out by your exhaust fan on the opposite side. As negative pressure builds inside your coop, the aluminum shutter opens automatically—helping maintain steady airflow without constant manual adjustment.

Designed for use in plastic-covered hoop coops and poultry hoop houses, this intake vent installs easily using spring wire and lock channel with compatible hardware kits.

Why Passive Intake Matters

Proper airflow helps reduce excess moisture, ammonia buildup, and interior heat—especially in enclosed hoop-style housing where air can become trapped quickly.

• Supports fresh air exchange without electricity
• Opens automatically with negative pressure from exhaust fans
• Helps remove warm, humid, or stale interior air
• Supports flock comfort across changing conditions

Core Features

• Rust-proof aluminum construction
• Heavy-duty welded corners for durability
• Gravity-open shutter flaps
• Easy installation in plastic-film hoop structures
• Available in 12”, 24”, and 36” sizes

Tip: For every intake vent installed, plan for an equal number of exhaust fans to maintain balanced airflow.
