I have just had my new Ryedale hutch with the stand.

Leo has a thing for chewing wood he is not suppose to,any ideas what I could wrap round the legs of the stand to prevent him chewing??

You can buy metal corner strips from B&Q and Wickes (wickes cheaper but their strips are long so take a junior hacksaw with you). Drill a hole in each end and then just hammer it onto the corner using a nail
You can see what I mean on the support timber here

I can sort out a metal pen and send it to you to put round the edges of the shed if that would help. Let me know. I can't remember the size of your shed, but it may do the trick
