Hutch advice

I am looking for some advice, If I wanted a decent (but not overly expensive hutch and run combo where would be best? I have 2 chicken coops at the mo and a hutch and run but it seems the consensus (sp) is that these are not overly suitable and tbh I have had one coop for 6 months and it has been chewed to bits. I looked on the happy hutch website but I couldn't see any that were 6ft. Does anyone have any links please? I am looking to get 3 in total in the long run. I have 3 sets of buns they are:
Nethie and Dutch
Nethie and Dwarf Lop
Dutch, Lionhead cross, Giant cross (about 4kg so a small giant).
I can't have sheds or playhouses and the house is a HMO and has 4 other sets of tenants and we move too often :(

Can anyone help please? Also I need idea on weather proofing my current set ups. I was going to get corregated (sp) plastic to put round 3 edges of the runs and tarpaulin. Does anyone know of any outdoor suitable insulation?
Thank you for reading :)

They are 6x2x2 hutches and have 6x4x2 runs if that helps :)

Beat me too it :)

Would they be suitable? Even for a trio? I worry about head room and stading on there back legs to strech? I just always feel I could do better for my buns and over the 2 1/2 years (when I got my first bun) I have spend near on £1k (which i guess isn't a huge amount) on swapping and changing hutches. I always feel I could do more for them.

I can't really comment i'm afraid :oops: as i only have 2 house bunnies, so dont know what i'd do for an outside bun.

Lots of others will come along and help, i'm sure :)
