Has anyone found metal runs that join together

Bea & Floss

And have lids? I found lots that join together and some with lids but not both :?

I want to create a huge area on the lawn so Bugsy can really stretch his legs (fully supervised of course ;))

Found this, two joined together would be great but there's no lid

And this but it's not big enough i would need at least two but I don't think they could be joined together :(

I have some of the first link that you posted and joined together they make a massive run and my two can really get some speed up. But because they have no roof I ALWAYS supervise them in it. I never leave them, not even for a minute to make a cuppa or anything like that.

The other run I had once and it doesn't really come apart to join two together. so not as flexible.

The only other way to go I suppose is to make a really large wooden one!

Thanks for your reply :wave:

I'm not allowed a big wooden one as it needs to be folding so it can be put away when not in use. I think I will go for the ones you have, he is going to be supervised at all times so I suppose a lid isn't too important.
 
This is my new set-up and my two really can get some speed up in there and don't find the join between the two doors a problem at all, I've just used cable ties to keep them together and tent pegs to hold them in the ground. Not sure if it helps but I thought a picture would be better than a description.

I have three joined together, so it is really big!
 
You could use a couple of sets (or more) of the open puppy pens to make a huge rectangle, then use a set of the taller 120cm ones as roofing panels. They basically come in a long jointed strip which clips together at the 2 ends with metal keyring type clips. That would give you a run which would be 120cm / 4' wide (ie 2x60cm panels) and as long as you want. The roof set can be clipped, wired, cable tied or padlocked in place in a format that would still make it foldable.

You would also be able to get better access through the roof if you leave a flap loose. I can't get in my roofed metal runs as the access doors are too small and my arms are not long enough. I have to send in a small child to retrieve reluctant bunnies.
 
I've been looking at the runaround system which can join runs together and hutches etc together...

Am considering buying a couple of bits to make peppers run a bit more intresting for her :D

Ditto, except mine are a bit different to that first link.
