I got myself a large sheet of transparent plastic sheet (flimsy).
I'm going to cut it up into the sizes of the hutch doors so that it prevents wind and rain, but I'm worried about ventilation.
I have this hutch from p@h (i understand thats its a small hutch, i got it second hand for free a year back)

Im going to cover the doors but not sure if i should cover the middle sections? I was going to use this for ventilation as i still have to be able to open the doors etc.
I have the bottom left door always open as it leads out into the run, if i cover all the doors but have that door open 24/7 would that be sufficient ventilation, Keep in mind that there are small slits where the hutch doors swing open that i will not be covering.
Then with the left-over plastic sheeting i was going to attach it to the the side of the run to prevent big gusts of wind reaching the hutch.
The hutch is against a shed and fence on one side. The run goes in a circle around the front.
OR
I could just have the whole plastic sheet roll down over the hutch, but then its gets grubby from the leaves that rest on top of the hutch etc and have it pulled down over the hutch. But that would be difficult to keep the door downstairs open for the run.
