cheapest way of making rabbit runs for the rescue buns?

Hello,

We have made some new housing for the rescue buns consisting of four wooden playhouses. I now need to get some rabbit runs to fix to each of the playhouses. I need 4 runs, each of which to measure approx 4ft wide by 8ft long by 2ft high. Problem is I'm pretty skint at the mo with all the vets fees I have had recently.

Where can I get some decent mesh or have some runs made that aren't going to be too pricey? I have been looking around for weld mesh but the cheapest I have found it for so far is £200 for the mesh alone.

Any advice, tips appreciated.

Hi,

My fathe-in-law has just made ny run which measure 8' x 5' x 18" and we got the 19g x 1/2" x 1/2 weld mesh from here http://www.meshdirect.co.uk/Wire-Mesh-13-x-25mm-Holes-1-2-inch-x-1-inch-c-24.html

We used approx 7 or 8 metres for one run, so you could possibly buy a 30 metre roll and a 6mtr roll and then go from there if you need any more....certainly a lot cheaper than £200!

We bought planed timber at 95p per metre for 2 x 2. The whole of the run cost approx £50.00. :D
 
You two are stars!!!

Thanks v much!!! Will now work out how much I need to buy. I've already bought all the timber I need just have to get the mesh now.

Thanks loads!!!

Hugs,
