Happy hutch Sykes hutch

I think I have settled on getting this one, any reviews? Or photos of them painted pretty?

I'm hoping to order next week once my patio has been laid and I can measure up to check it will fit as the builders have put the wall I wanted to back the hutch against a foot further forward than I had hoped! Should hopefully fit there, otherwise there will be other places it can go.

Hi I had the 5ft hutch and was really happy with it, they're great value for money :thumb: The only thing I found a bit annoying was that the back of the hutch was plywood so when I screwed a hay rack in the screws came out the other side leaving holes! Also mine was on legs but the legs began to buckle and I had to replace them. I removed the divider and made my own bed/private area with a hop on bit. Don't have any pics on my phone unfortunately to share and don't have wifi at home! I painted the hutch in cuprinol garden shades in seagrass, inside and out - looked lovely

I also have my eye on this hutch in 6x2x2 with 6x6 incorporated run that I hope to order in the next week of so, so would also love to hear how others have gotten on with theirs! I was so happy to finally find a decent sized quality hutch that doesn't have one of those annoying, draughty pull out trays! Really like the price too, just hope there isn't a catch:/ Also, shame it doesn't have slide bolts to lock doors..

'This rabbit hutch is made from solid 30 x 30 mm framing. Thick 10ml shiplap sides and back. The floor is 8mm thick exterior ply on all hutches. Green mineral felt roof sloping from front to back.' <--Pinched from Happy hutch website, seems they must have changed the design since you got yours? Can I asked what the bedroom divider was like on yours before you removed it? I've noticed with a lot of hutches they always seem flimsy with massive gaps above and below with oversized doorways, I assumed bad design but now I'm wondering if it's for ventilation? I may well replace mine too if I don't think it's up to scratch but I don't want to make it too stuffy in there for them:S

I bought a 6ftx2ftx2ft single story one.
Pros:
-Huge!
-Wood is thick, sturdy and good quality
-Great value for money, only paid £110!

Cons:
-Wasn't stained properly
-Instructions on building the hutch were minimal, didn't say where to actually drill holes for the screws!
-One part they provided was too big - though I think this must have just been a mistake on their part.

I would definitely buy one again, though.
