Making a Hutch

Hi could someone please give me a list of what I need and how to make a hutch. I will be making it 6ft long, 2ft high and 2 ft deep I am just finding out if it would be cheaper to build a hutch or buy one Thanks

You can often find guides online for hutch building.

If you are making a hutch for indoors, you could probably get away with hardboard (relatively cheap) and wire mesh, hinges etc. However, if you are going outside, I would use tongue and groove boards and then line the hutch with hardboard.

The basics:

• 3 x 6mm Plywood 6ft x 2ft (top, back, bottom)
• 3 x 6mm Plywood 2ft x 2ft (2 ends and 1 door)
• 20m of 45mm x 45mm sawn timber
• 4 x hinges
• 2 x padbolts
• 5m shed felt
• 4ft x 2ft galvanised wire mesh with holes no bigger than 1/2" x 1"
• 100 x 70mm easy drive screws (I recommend B&Q powerdrive)
• Clout nails for the felt
