Ok you may have seen my post ealier in the week about the shed Ali has said i can buy.
I was going to get a 20ft x 10ft shed costing £1200, i can get all of the buns bar two pairs in this size shed and all will have good sized runs in it, im wondering though weather £1200 might be better spent on hutches with runs or enclosures??
Louise pionted me in the direction of Aveiry panels, which are 6ft by 3ft and pre done, all i would have to do is attach them together however i wanted, i could also put slabs down the bun side of the garden, so i would basically have one long enclosure split into pens with Hutches inside the pens, i havn't added up what this would cost me though, but the average 6ft x 3ft aveiry panel is £12, i would need to cover a space, 30ft x 10ft allowing pens for all the rabbits, if i had them 6ft high so i could enter, were talking 10 panels for each long side and 3 for each short side so 26 panels at a cost of £312, then i would have the hutches of which the smallest could be 5ft x2ft x2ft i havn't looked at prices for those, and then i would need the slabs, i can order those of the internet at £1 for a 1ft x 1ft slab this would cost me £300, so it's £600 for the panels and the slabs.
add in the huitches i would need which is at least 10, this option would cost me more money but would mean the rabbits still had outside space.
The shed as i said before would cost me £1200 and i could fit 17 out of the 21 rabbits we have here in it, they would all have pens with raised hutches and they would be dry all year round but wouldn't have any outside space???
Im not sure which one to do???? Obviously the shed is the very easy option, plus i would be dry all year round as would the buns, i could get that erected and sorted in a couple of days, the enclosure idea would take about a week of solid work on mine and hubbys part. My landlord would agree to either option so he's not a problem. Im just really uncertain of which route to go down.
For the enclosure idea i would of course have fllod lights iin the garden which i don't have at he moment, but it will still mean going out and getting very very cold and very very wet in winter (which i don't mind one bit!) but because the area would be slabbed and not grass it makes it much easier to clean and i wouldn't destroy the lawn???
HELP!!!
