You could attach the run to the playhouse using a catflap or a runaround pop hole. I would either undermesh the run under the grass or put it on paving slabs so predators cant dig in and bunnies cant dig out. Then she could go in it whenever she liked
I would go for a slightly bigger run, as it is it is very nearly, but not quite rwa size. 8x4ft runs are easy to find on ebay etc as they are the new reccommended size. If you got a 8x4 run that setup would be great!

Im sure the 6ft x 4ft run will be fine. Thats what mine have and they are happy!
If you want it permenently attached you will want it on slabs or woodchips You can just take a panel off and screw it directly to the playhouse. Then you can attach a cat flap.
It is fine if you want to keep your setup, and I'm sure your buns are happy in it and I know it met the rwa guidlines when it was bought. But I don't think that size should be reccommended to new impressionable owners when it doesnt meet the current rwa guidlines. We also don't know whether Stumpy's rabbit will ever get time out of her setup, like free-ranging, some people just arent able to do this for safety reasons, so should have a longer setup so the rabbits can really stretch their legs. The minimum reccommended sizes are just that, a minimum, so we should be encouraging people to get bigger setups than the minimum, not smaller. I'm sure if you had to buy a new setup in the future you would match it to whatever the minimum reccommended standards are then.
i do only have 1 rabbit and the most i will ever have is 2. im not sure if i could get another one now anyway, i also wont have any more room this is the max i can give my rabbit x
so my play house came but when trying to build it its not going together securely and im not happy its safe enough for Whisky. so dad said we will just have to go out and buy a new hutch for her. so what one is big enough again so i don't mess up again very upset at the moment
I'd complain to the company if that's the case, it's not fair you've paid for that and it's not secure, I mean playhouses are designed primarily for young kids they should be secure
If you want to keep it then there may be a way (depending what is wrong) of altering it so it is safer?
Or someone could reccommend you a good playhouse?
Or you could get a shed or hutch. The only thing with the hutches is that with a shed or playhouse you can spend more time in there, even when it is raining, which is important as she is a single bunny, so she'll have a little company at least, whereas with a hutch I doubt you'll stand there in the pouring rain for long! I do not envy you outdoor bunny owners in winter!
I cant reccommend a hutch from personal experience, but the size you should be looking for is 6x2 hutch attached to a 4x8 run, but a 6x6 run would give a little more space but be easier to attach. If you can get a hutch that sits on top of the run, and get them at the same time, you'll save money and space.
i have seen one in the range. there is the hutch bit and then the run under it and i still have the other run so dad is going to attach this and another so she will have loads of run space on paving slabs and the safe hutch bit above her x
