I'm so excited!!!! :D another U/D pg 1! I brought a shed!

Since I joined this fourm I have noticed that there are so many different ways to house rabbits that is t your basic hutch and run.

I've been wanting a shed for my guineas and rabbits to share (obviously in separate parts) for a while now and my mom was a bit warey of having another shed in our garden (the Garden is huge but we've already got 2 sheds and my mom didn't want it turning into shed city!) but today she's told me I can have one! I'm 21 years old but at the end of the day, I live in my parents house and what they say goes when it's to do with the house.

So I'm goin to borrow someones idea on here and Start it. My dads going to help and I've started a list of stuff I need like insulation, wood, ply, mesh etc etc.

I can't wait I've got to wait a little until my job is more secure but it's gonna be awesome.

Does anyone have any tips for doing out sheds? Or problems that they ran into while building. Maybe sizes that you used and things you think I'll need to add to my list?

I shall post photos and stuff of it in the making

That is exciting!

How lucky to be able to make your own! I can't offer advice, but I would love to see the pics of it!

Because I can't afford to have a shed atm, I've done up my hutch it's almost finished, I just need to paint the WHOLE hutch now and I'm done.

So here was my hutch before I did it up:


I found that it took a lot of time and difficulty to clean as I couldn't pull out the tray so it would take ages for me to clean out evey single bit of old bedding from it.


This is the flap I've put in, the rabbits haven't worked out how to use it yet, but they will.


This is my runaround pipe and half the box we have the cat flap in


This is the hutch on it's new base and with the catflap installed


This is the blood blister I managed to sustain while cutting cable ties :lol:


This is the final one so far, we have the box which houses the one end of the tunnel and the catflap. Then it goes to the other end of the tunnel and the run. We've made shutters to keep the sun out and the rain out, you can see the ones on the bottom here but we have them for the whole hutch. I'm really proud of it even if it looks like an overgrown elephant :lol:

I brought a shed it's 6x8 and they'll haveTONNES of room to play it's coming on Saturday and I can't wait!

I have posted pics of my shed interior in my thread on this page. Will take some more pics later of the way I have attached the run, and also how bunnies can be shut in the shed, or in the run.

Glad you have been inspired by the forum.

I look forward to seeing your finished project.
