Here are some photos of the latest hutch and run project I built to fit in a space of a particular shape. I hope this can be useful for anyone looking for ideas:
This gives a good view of the whole thing
This shows well how the hutch sits on top of the run. The run is fully enclosed with roof panels across the whole thing and the hutch sits on top of the roof panels. The left most roof panel has the mesh missing from half of it to allow the ramp down into the run
This shows the right hand side which is all made of aviary style panels
The door is just another panel 3ft x 3ft hinged onto the mesh-less half of the 6ft x 3ft panel with Padbolts to keep it closed.
This is inside the run where the ramp goes down from the hutch into the run onto a platform made from decking squares.
There is a further ramp from the decking to the floor
You can just see the supports for the back of the hutch. The roof panels have an extra piece of timber 3ft from the front and there are two stilts going from the roof to the floor to support the weight of the hutch and stop it from bending the roof panels
These is one of the side panels that I put on the wrong way around. The extra support beam was supposed to be where the hutch ends :roll:
And now meet the residents, patch
and skippy (very hard to see, she's all brown):
Total cost somewhere £300.
I posted some photos of the inside of the hutch here:

ps the plywood at the bottom of the run panels is to block off the view of the other rabbits and prevent referred aggression. There is still mesh underneath the plywood keeping it secure.

Your rabbits are so lucky and they have so much room. :thumb: Great idea making a little platform out of decking squares.
