Know a lot of people are worried about foxes at the moment (me included after finding one in my garden the other night), I spent all day helping a friend make some night time shutters for the exposed parts of the setup..
Here is the setup during the day..
and at night time we add doors to the sides and top of the run plus doors for the hutch part.
We used 9mm exterior plywood. The top of the run is hinged all down one side so I just lift it up and attach it to the side of the playhouse during the day. The two sides of the run that are against the walls have been filled in with exterior ply too from the inside.
As well as fox proofing, I think this will make the buns more snuggly warm in the winter when they are out in their run.
What do you think? Fox proof enough? I get so worried!
We used tabs at the bottom to hold the wood against the run and at the top we used twisty locks (wouldnt use these normally but there is welded mesh behind them so they are there just to keep the wood from flapping about).
