Shed

[Peanut-Toffee]

Hey,
Im looking at moving Roxy into a shed, will move her hutch in with her as a base but have bottom doors taken off so she has free range in shed.
I really like this one

What do people think?

I would not take bottom doors off hutch - just leave them open - in case for whatever reason you need to shut her in one day

We had a shed like that (for tools) - its ok but look out for the quality (or not) of the floor.

OK thanks
Yeah the floor is the main issue, but it'd be covered with lino and Id mesh the bottom half of hutch too as shes a chewer!

If she's a chewer you will need to line an overlap shed with plywood, otherwise she'll chew her way out eventually.

Tongue and groove, shiplap or loglap are best for chewers because the inside is totally flat and so very difficult for buns to get their teeth into

How about this one....

In 6x6 with the tongue and groove floor?

Or alternatively, line the inside with thin ply or similar (the really thin stuff is about £6 a sheet in Wickes), that way you can also put insulation down inside the gaps between the uprights to help make it cosier in winter and cooler in summer

I'd also suggest getting the lino laid before you assemble the shed, it's far easier laying it all flat and then putting the sides on top of it, rather than trying to cut round all the joins to the right size.

Good luck

Thanks everyone
Neither me or my Dad have any DIY skills so need it to be as simple as possible lmao!

If anyone can have a look at sites they know I'd be very grateful.
Ideally Im looking for 6x6/7x5 shed, preferably the width bigger than the length (if that makes sense?), needs to have a window which I can replace with mesh, been recommend tongue and groove due to Roxy being a chewer....and my budget is around £200 but can go slightly over for the right shed.
