Hi similar kind of question:
My Buns have a breeze block shed, with a slate roof which I further insulated. The doors opens out into their run so can be left open but also has a cat flap on it for when it is closed. It seems to stay cool in the shed in summer and warmer winter (water bowl inside shed never got close to icing up this winter even when the one outside was icing over quickly).
I am wondering however what to do for the summer as it will be their first summer in there and the shed has no window. I could leave the shed door open constantly throughout the summer but worry this might defeat the purpose of having a cosy area should it get cold suddenly in the nights, or I could leave the shed door open during the day and close at night - Im unsure what to do?
I suppose I could perhaps cut some form of hole in the shed door and mesh over it but the shed doors, I dont know how to explain it but sort of made of tongue and groove panels and I worry if I cut a big hole in it it may fall apart.
Any advice on what I should do will be appreciated as Im worrying about it already!
Also on a side note, I have a walk in run (plenty of areas for the buns to get shade etc) but it has a clear corrugated roof, I worry this may be a heat trap in the summer and wonder if it would be ok to use tarpaulin on part of the corrugated roof to stop sunshine coming through to give them half the run in shade?
Thanks!
