Lino

[neenee]

What does everyone use to lay the lino in rabbit sheds? I just used staples in my playhouse but my french lop chewed everything up to pieces :roll:

Ive read you should baton down the edges with screwed down batons. I think thats what I will do when I change mine over.

We stapled it round the edges and then screwed batons down on top.

ETA: They do seem to like chewing on the batons but they're easy enough to replace if they do any proper damage.

Thanks Do you have a link to the batons on the b&q site? Im useless at diy so im not quite sure what you mean. Im actually getting someone to lay it for me :lol:

I'm worrying about this for my new sheds. I thought when I lay down the base, stape lino to it then drill in the sides etc. and then put those shedskirting boardthingies down. :lol:

Use metal strips to pin down the edges and stop them chewing and pulling them up. I used some cheap double sided sticky tape underneath to fix it to the wood.

It's cheapest in wilkinsons.

I put it on the floor before I put the walls on, then use the walls to pin it down. nothing to chew, no edges to pull up
