Well after a long look on the web for a new over sized hutch and seeing the
prices of them :shock:. I asked my partner to build one. So 2 days later, here
are some of the pics so far from the build....

Wow, that is great, oh to have a handy man! Your buns will love it. Is the door made with wood trellis? Your buns are really cute!
 
Super size hutch. :D I'm not sure about the door either. 1 for the light and you being able to interact but also cos they will chew holes in it. If you're sticking with it I'd put wire behind it too.
 
clever hubby but I warn you they may be through those radiator covers in days. You can buy reinforced mesh quite cheaply from homebase which you can either staple gun on the inside or put between two bits of wood and nail it on.
 
cheers all, he has decided to use the spare bits of dog run we have,
he was unsure on the cover as well, so thanks for helping us decide,

as soon as he does them i'll get pics of it finished...
 
Well after a week of football and work, my partner as now
finished the hutch.
