Does anyone have a kennel with attached run - I am talking 6ft high ones (10ft long) as opposed to a shed? I am thinking of upgrading to larger bunny premises but they also have a 7ft run on the grass for through the day. Just wondering if there are any cons with a kennel instead of a shed.

No cons at all - loving mine, we have had it since July.

We are just building some shutters for it for the winter rather than tarpauline.
If you want the kennel area as grass you prob couldn't have the solid roof as not much sun or rain would get to it.
Mine get a lot of free range time so this is not and issue with access to grass etc.

I had mine made at a local shed place and it worked out cheaper than if I had bought it off internet. You can also specify exact size - mine is overall 6' x 12' and total height of 6.5 ft. This can help with price if you want something lower or smaller.
This sounds really good idea - I've only ever seen 'ordinary' dog kennels. Where have you seen them?

It's a lot more expensive, you could just do a bit of DIY and attach a run like on the bunny shed.com
My other half thinks I'm nuts already and that the buns are more important than him and the little man (he could just about be right) - there is no way I could get him to do that to a shed and my diy skills are worse than useless. And he made the run which currently attaches to the hutch but didn't put any doors etc in it so if the buns are in I can't catch them!!!! :lol: Good job I have more than 1 run.
I am loving the set up on the site though, maybe one day................

Here's some pics of mine, althought the aviary has had a few modification since the picture was taken.

If you imagine the hutch is now on the floor and there is another two platforms above the hutch with a tunnel in one of them.

Your (buns!) kennel looks really good - where did you get it from?
