Morning Newbie here,
I have been looking on this forum for a while before posting and found the site to be fantastic. My wife is the Rabbit lover I just get roped in when some practical stuff needs doing.
Anyhow thanks to the posts I have seen here we bought a Waltons wendy house and I have converted it for the bunnies, I have installed thermawrap (foil bubble wrap) and ply on the walls and laid vinyl flooring with battens round the edge. Everything took a bit of time climbing in and out of a space designed for kids but I also put a shelf and sleeping space underneath.
Winters not been the best time to do this project but the wife is bonding the rabbits and is hoping to use the new house, I purchased a Ferplast Swing 3 cat flap from B&M for £6 its meant for doors or glazing so thought it would be perfect.
I have however struggled to fit it snuggly but its on and the first day it rained all the water dripped of the felt roof and collected round the cat flap and there has been a fair amount of water that has got in. The door itself had plenty of raindrops over it. (would hate to have used it on my actual house)
I then created a small porch roof over the cat flap with felt on the top but still during bad rain here in Manchester waters getting in. Should I just throw the cat flap away and install a pop door or something similar the wife has suggested making the porch with side walls on it.
Any help is appreciated.
