Hi Mai.
I like the look of these, and someone on here has already converted on to a bunny shed (can't remember who) but it looked great.
I would consider doing one, if you can make mesh doors for the opening and then have the outer doors for weather/night time closure. Shelves in it too would be fab.

:wave: Hehehe!
And the buns hardly ever go in it :lol: They just sit in the run all day. It has an aviary style run on the front:
The one I bought was shiplap and I would spend a little more to get a shiplap one

B&Q do a shiplap bike store for only £100 but I can't find it on their website. It's not as tall as the one I got but I think it would still be suitable.

The bike sheds are good once converted but to me it seems like a lot of work and would probably be just as economical to buy a decent hutch and attach a run?
Also I can't understand them not letting you have a shed or playhouse but letting you do the bike store thing cos it really just looks like a shed if you ask me!
I thought you were getting a dawson's hutch or was that not you?

well, i was. But, dad think its to expesive. :roll:
Its not definate yet, this. But im looking for ideas really. What ever dad is agreeing on is to small, or i dont like cause its going ot be a pain to clean. We agreed on something like Netutopia's but, we missed it on ebay. :roll: So he told me to get looking for other things. x

Ah, Estelle's looks like the B&Q one
To create mesh doors you basically buy some wood and make a frame about the size of the door and then just staple mesh to it. You may have to add some more wood to the inside of the bike store to give you something to attack the mesh door to, but it's basically just a case of cutting wood and screwing it together.
Is it this one? (Although there's no pic to go with it :roll::lol http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.j...refview=search&ts=1238497225187&isSearch=true
There's 15% off at the moment, so it's even cheaper. If you search for bike store, a couple more come up too.

Is it the cost of a shed that is putting your dad off? Because B&Q do a cheap 6ftx4ft shed complete with little window (£109)

Maltilda&Twinks has one of these and she put several shelves in it and the buns often sit and look out the window

I think it is the height ... I have the same problem with my hubby! I want to bond my two pairs of bun's and when I do so, I will need a much bigger hutch for them to live in. I would love a shed but hubby isn't too keen (because of how tall it is - we dont have a huge garden) but something like a bike shed seems lower so could be ideal ....

cause im not alowwed a shed for the buns.
Has anyone got any links to aviery type set ups? Because, thats what i *really* want. :lol: Thank you xxxx
I'd love to have that for my three!
I have this one and frankly, it's rubbish! Haven't even had it a year yet and the rabbits have practically eaten half of it. The ground floor hardly fits so there's a gap that runs along the front edge so that wobbles when the girlies are hopping around. The locks on it were rubbish and my dad had to add bits on. I could go on! :lol:
