Who has made a rabbit hutch?

My dad made my hutch (I'm 27 ha ha ha!). He used plywood with a cavity wall (basically 2 layers of the wood with a gap between) alround. We stuffed the cavity with insulation so it's warm. He used more plywood to make a division so they have a bedroom (it's actually the toilet they've decided:roll:) He used 2X2 for the edges of the roof and more wood covered in felt for the top. Ours is a different structure from the usual but you could adapt it to suit the design you want...

Thats great.
How big is it?
How much was the overall cost?
 
you saw my hutches last night. the big ones measure 6 foot long,2 foot deep and each level is 2 foot high. they cost about £180 each to make.
 
My OH is getting in touch with his Grandad who is a carptener, or whatever.

They reckon he will make me the hutch and one for the GP's too. All i would have to buy is Mesh.

I have got to draw down the designs with sizes and let them know! :D
 
That hutch is 5ft x 2ft x 2.5ft and the buns have permanent access to the run which is 6ft x 5ft x 2.5ft. TBH I have no idea how much it cost because my Dad was under the impression that the rabbits were for my kids and so made it for 'them'. Ahem. :oops::lol::lol:
 
Yup you're not gonna get rid of me that easily!! :lol::lol:

*that means tommy's old place will be free ;)*
