Ive been having a look at hutches online and they all seem so small! Any bigger than 50" and you're looking at pretty much taking out a bank loan for them :shock:

So has anyone made their own? Ours will eventually be moving into a shed so will be kept dry in there... But just wondered cost wise?

Yes my husband has made quite a few hutches.

He reckons the cost of materials for a 6ft x 2ft x 2ft hutch is approx 40quid.

hope that helps.

My dad has made several hutches, but none that big, although recently he did build our 12.5ft by 4.5ft enclosure

You just have to be careful with the materials and that you get appropriate stuff.

I had a double 7 x 2 x 2 made from my ex OH's grandad, took nearly a month, but its fantastic! didnt cost a penny either!

I bought this hutch for around £200

I've made quite a few hutches, it's definately worth it. You could definately do a 6ft x 2ft x 2ft for less than £100
