We did that when D&J had their first hutch. We used these sort of hinge things, and screwed them both together.
My dad did most of it, so I don't know for exact.

you could use cable ties at the top. Not sure what else. I have a fennel fold, i think they are quite good.

Tbh, I didn't like mine, The buns chewed the bottom wooden bit, and exposed the nails which were holding the wiring in place. Just a note to make sure your buns don't get hurt:D xx

the two that are in there tend not to chew, lilly used to but marsha and casper prefer hay.

thanks jack, ill ask my dad to do it me thinks x
 
I've got two together for my nethies, there's one photo here, I'll try and get you some more tomorrow. In essence I just took an end panel out of each to make a hole through the middle, and got loads of uber-long screws and screwed the two runs together. The two middle pieces on the top are screwed down, but the two top end pieces I have put hinges and clasps on so that I can easily get into it.

I've then cut part of it out so I could permanently attach it to the hutch, and the other end panel I have also put on hinges and a couple of bolts so I could open it out if I wanted to.
 
i have used bolts on the sides and also have hinged the tops so that i can open up the top part to help with cleaning.
i like the runs,, esp the wire as its really sturdy and more fox proof:)
