I think it depends what you are using it for 
Metal - Great for letting bunnies have a graze, can be packed away easily. Good for letting housebunnies have some time ouside
Wooden - Mosre secure, can build one yourself. Bunnies can be left in them unsupervised (providing they ahve a lid) Can be attached to shed/hutch etc.
Metal - Great for letting bunnies have a graze, can be packed away easily. Good for letting housebunnies have some time ouside
Wooden - Mosre secure, can build one yourself. Bunnies can be left in them unsupervised (providing they ahve a lid) Can be attached to shed/hutch etc.
I did this poll once - the thread is (( Here )) if you want a nosey!
Basically; overall opinion was that wooden is better. It was the safety issues with the metal runs that concerned me as the bar spacing is wider.

:wave: I have one of each and can't decide so I haven't voted! I think my metal run is best on the lawn with where as the wooden run sits nicely on the patio
It depends what you want it for - if it's going to stay in one place then I would say wooden but if you want to move it around patches of lawn then go for metal

I have had my metal one for a year. It has been used by many foster buns and has a wee wooden shelter attached so the have somewhere warm, dry and enclosed to hide in. It is great being able to move it around easily to fresh grass patches, it is really high so they can have a good stretch and it came with tent pegs to secure it on the grass.
I have used clothes pegs to attach a waterproof blanket to the roof. It works well for sun or rain!:wave:
