Does this playhouse look ok?

It's nearly equivalent to a 6x2 ft hutch and that's not enough for two rabbits, alone.

6x2ft hutch offers 12 ft squared of space and the shed offers 16 squared ft.

With a permanently attached run of 6x4ft it's okay. A run longer in length so 8ft+ is better and more than that is even better.

I would attach a run anyway. also, i would have levels/platforms in it and would attach a roof.
 
I was looking at the 5 x 5 one of those but went against it because of the roof. The work to make it okay wouldn't have been worth it. Isn't there a felt/wooden one on that website?
 
I'm a bit dubious - says it is lightweight, can be used indoors or outdoors and can be moved around easily. That, coupled with the fact that it has a fabric roof makes it sound not very sturdy. Also, no glazing - would it be easy to put in windows?

I dont know, but it's probs like £169.99. Also, couldnt you just put mesh on the outside of the windows?:?
 
I would think it does, but instead of felt it has waterproof fabric

Thats just like cheaper 'tent' material, it would take nothing for a fox to tear it :(

That doesn't sound secure really. It could easily rip too.

If you do get it, put a proper roof on it.

I agree :thumb:
Also, because it says its easy to move about, makes me think it doesn't have a floor either?

I looked at this, im sure it has gaps inbetween the wood like where the door is when you look at it on other websites, not tiny gaps either unfortunately :)

I got mine £109 from b n q but it's only 4x4 but it's turned out perfect might be worth a look :)

If you have a local reclamation yard near you give them a call. I got our 6ft x4ft playhouse for £40, brand new still in packaging!

My other one was from BnQ for £80 on a 20%off day. It's just as good but a bit smaller.

With any playhouse it's important you have a run attached for exercise and also because playhouses can get very warm in summer.
 
It needs window mesh, a proper roof & a floor but size wise ok if you add levels & you would need a permanent run attached.
