I think it leave the hutch a bit too dark inside
Perhaps you could show us where it would be going?
Yes I think it should go
Mesh door - Mesh Panel - Solid wood door
The sizes look good
Are you planning a run too?
That has to be the funniest thing i've ever watched in my life :lol::lol:
Grim
So is the hutch going in width wise, eg, where you were standing to video it, or length wise?
They'll have run of the garden. It's very secure and I'm lucky I can do this. There is my house on two sides, next door's house on another side and a very high wall at the bottom. I also have full view of the garden from my window so I feel that this is safe. I know others would disagree though.
My hutch now is where I was standing(ish) with it's back against the wall on the right, length ways along the garden. As the new one will be three foot deep (my one now is two foot deep) I might have to move it down the yard into the corner at the bottom. Otherwise I think getting out of the back door might be an issue. I want the back against the wall on the right again. My garden is only about 4-5 ft wide. I wish I had more space to play with.
And thanks. It's my favourite video of Grim.
Not sleeping is not helping my brain
I think placing it at the far end of that yard, where the wall slopes would work, if thats what you mean? That'd still leave you 1-2ft (maybe a little more) to get past it to whatever is on the left, past the wall. It'll be tight, but it'd work i think.
I do agree, i'd have the mesh the length of the hutch in traditional style, as it could be quite dark in there, and it doesnt look like you get much light unfortunately in the yard, as each 'side' looks well over 10ft tall? Apart from the wall at the end with the slope i doubt you get much light?
As your space is limited, this next comment is going to sound really odd....
How about asking, as its being custom made, for it to be perhaps an extra foot long or so? eg, 7 or 8ft x 3ft? It would obviously eat into the length of your yard a bit more, but if they had to be locked in, or are in there, it might be better?
Also, ensure the felt roof isn't flat, and is sloped, backwards, and ensure there is an overhang, so water can run off the top and off the back, without dripping down the back of the hutch, causing water damage :wave:
If space is limited put it on stilts so they can run around underneath the hutch too
