Roughly speaking 1ft (12 inches) = 30cms

Looks good for anybody with limited floorspace, and needs to go 'upwards' with their hutch :D

I keep thinking that I must have worked these out wrong cos its soooo small.

Roof - 96 x 66 x 30cm = length 3ft 1 x width 2ft 2 x height 1ft

Main x 2 - 84 x 66 x 44cm each = length 2ft 8 x width 2 ft 2 x height 1ft 5

Run x 2 - 84 x 66 x 44cm each = length 2ft 8 x width 2ft 2 x height 1ft 5

I think it's way too small....
I also would be concerned at how sturdy it is in windy weather since these kind of hutches tend to be made from cheaper wood and not that heavy. I don't think moving upwards in hutches provides enough space. most two/three tier hutches need to have a ladder to get up to the next level and that again limits space.
I have a converted playhouse and summerhouse for my outdoor bunnies and don't think I could ever go back to a hutch. A playhouse is relatively small in terms of how much space it needs but gives other options in terms of building other levels etc...

That does sound small doesn't it? :shock:

Have to say I didn't work it out myself.

Thanks for these measurements - I can understand them!!

You're right - too small.

I think I am going to have to go down the playhouse route or 6ft happyhutches, but I need 2 :roll:!!! So much room needed!!! Unless my 2 boys will bond........but have to get Thumper done first.

If only I had found this forum years ago, I would have had all this sorted before getting the buns.

Oh well, I'll keep on trawling google just in case I stumble across a good en!

Thanks guys

Keep an eye out on ebay, adtrader, local paper, shop notices etc for a playhouse. I bought mine locally on ebay for just 50 pounds! Alternatively a larger shed that you could put a divide in is a good option and probably still cheaper than a hutch.

Hi Jackie,

Nothing on ebay at the minute - i've just looked and i've also set up a saved search for this so they should email me when new things go on.

I love your hutch/run combo - how big is it and did you make it yourself?

Not sure about size but I had one of their hutches before as a starter and was really pleased with it. Their delivery is excellent and good quality too.
