Cheap shed Online?? What are your shed lined with????

I can't comment on size as I don't know much about larger rabbit breeds, but I would strongly recommend looking for a shiplap rather than overlap shed as many overlap sheds are very flimsy.

I'd agree with that:D Overlap gives them the opportunity to chew the "walls" of the shed and is very draughty. It's worth payiing the extra for tongue & groove boarding.

yep i know, my brother works there but these not we can afford at the min :(

Hubby has ordered this shed :shock: I think we shall have to maybe line the inside.

*shouts* Lucyyyyy!! Is this shed ok for 2 buns?!? Really hope so else were going to have to cancel the order :roll:
 
If you were to go for this one you would have to work out how much extra the bunny proof lining will cost and if it would be cheaper to buy a different one once thats included. I would also go for a split half door rather than these sort of doors, you know, the ones where you can open the top but keep the botom shut.
 
Ahh i see thats exactly the same shed but its the shiplap pr whatever is called :? I think im going to have to call them tomorrow :? Your shed looks great btw xxx
 
Looks great!

I have a shed for my buns too. On warm days you will need to open main doors to give them ventilation. I would you will need a door on the inside to stop buns getting out and predators getting in. My hubby made mine a door using wire sheets and wood 2" x 2" from Wickes. Cost about £20 for basic door. Hinges and bolts prob another £15. I'll take some pictures tomorrow if it will help ! :D
 
That would be great :D Id really appreciate that :) I am so unsure what to do, just wish hubby hadnt rushed into it :( What is your shed lined with?? We will defo make some sort of mesh door for inside the normal doors... but i was also thinking about meshing the windows and then making wooden shutters for a night time?? Got to get it all sorted really... hubby is useless at DIY so dad will be coming to do it :) Look foward to seeing the pics 2moro xXx
 
Here you go. Latching is a bit tricky. We havent found a perfect solution yet. We tried putting a bolt on but then found the external shed door can't close. We have fitted a gate latch on the inside and unlatch it by pulling string. :roll:

My shed has laminate flooring :D

We threw 2 packs of laminate flooring down the tip around 3 weeks ago :roll: think i maybuy lino as it may work out a little cheaper :? Laminate flooring is probably better in the long run though :) Weve got to get this shed up first :? Its being delivered next week... we have still got to sort the base out :shock: going to order sand, slabs etc from B&Q 2moro xXx
 
If you made the inside door just over waist hight, then you could have a latch easily opened on the inside, but it also stops bunnys hopping right out!
