Question About Canvas Tarps

[ShirleyGirl]

I've had to move bun to my deck ... allergies!! Fortunately I kept him in a very cool, unheated room in the basement and put him out for several hours everyday, so although it's a change, it's not a huge one. The weather for this time of year is very mild, 40/50's in the day and above freezing at night. His hutch is right outside my slider door, facing in. He can see us. I'm also using a snuggle safe.

Anyway, I have a canvas tarp to cover at night. Even though the canvas is covered with another plastic tarp, the canvas feels cold and damp. Yet I read so many people use canvas. Is it safe? Seems like it would be trapping dampness.

What are your experiences with canvas?

Thanks!!

I never used canvas. I'd imagine is getting cold and damp due to condensation - is air still able to flow underneath to help prevent build up of condensation?

Yes, air can move underneath.

Canvas isn't going to keep much heat in, it's more to keep rain and wind out so you could probably put some ventilation holes in As long as it isn't tight to the front of the hutch it should be okay, can you feel condensation on the inside?
