Why could it not be his in winter as well? I would insulate it. Looks good-the hutch looks very deep

if you want it to stay cool you need to let a breeze through. So maybe replace the windows with wire mesh instead?

The shed is used for storage at the moment. But would like to turn it in to his home and add a run that he can use all the time. But my worries are that this shed gets the sun all year around and does get very hot. I am getting a new shed as this one has been there for years. Any ideas in keeping it cool through the hot summers would be grateful idea :idea: . sorry about the mix up the wording

Most people replace the windows with mesh, but I just open the windows of my shed in summer.

Also insulating the shed keeps it warm in winter and cooler in summer :wave:

If you have an attached run that Rizzo can have 24x7 access to (and you follow the advice re the windows) then I would say he will be fine. We have installed an electric fan in our shed as well, just for those really hot days when they need bit of extra help to keep cool and that works well.

My buns playhouse gets the sun in the summer too but having mesh up at the windows and having the door open (with a inner mesh door) works fine. Giving the buns things like ice pods and frozen bottles of water help
