Sick of tarp!

Fluffers I really like your hutch and it is exactly what i am looking for as my hutch is starting to show a lot of wear now. Please can you tell me where you got it from? it is such a pretty colour too!

Thanks :)

Thank you :wave: It's a Happy Hutch (bought off ebay) and the paint is Wilkonsons own 'Willow' from their 'Colour your Garden' range. It's water based & so really easy to use :wave:

I now have a combination of shutters & corrugated plastic. My set up is in the shade all day and so I don't remove the plastic on the run lid. I made the shutters for the the winter really but I'm still using some at night & they're good for blocking out driving rain :thumb:

It's just screwed to the lid. Make tiny pilot holes first with a very small drill bit & you have to get the smaller corrugated stuff (smaller bumps) or the doors of the hutch won't open over it ;) They JUST skim the top :thumb: I bought mine from Homebase. I then attached a wooden knob (screwed through from underneath) so I could still open the lid!

Thanks I'll give that a go as my next project:thumb:Did you have it cut to size or cut it yourself?
