Which is better?

Sorry for more housing questions, I just feel like their hutch isn't big enough and I'd love to make it better for them but I'm not sure if I can.
I have an 8ft x 6ft shed, which Mum said I could only use for them in the winter, because it's used to store things in, but the shed has 2 floors, so I might try and ask Mum if I can fit everything upstairs in the shed and keep the downstairs for the rabbits.
The only downside is I wouldn't be able to attach the run to the shed, because the shed is on stones on decking and I don't think Mum would let me put a cat flap or make a hole in the side of the shed anyway.
I don't know if she'd even let me use it yet, but I just wanted to see if it would be better for the rabbits first.
Which is better? A 6ft x 2ft x 2ft hutch with attached 6ft x 4ft run, or a 8ft x 6ft shed with no run attached?

Also, if I did move them to the shed, the hutch wouldn't be wasted (I only got it in March but I didn't realize how big Archie and Molly would get) 3 of my guinea-pigs could move into it.
 
Well the hutch and run is 36 square feet and the shed would be 48 square feet so the shed is bigger. :) It would be best to keep the run for nice days though so that they can play outside. :wave:
 
yeah - if they had the shed...they would need to be able to see outside etc so they arent just shut in a shed for hours on end....:D
 
The shed is bigger but personally I would rather have the smaller set up with the run where they can get lots of fresh air and daylight.
