    Get yourself down to the local pet shop and make some quick sketches or use your camera phone / camera and quickly take some snap shots for some ideas.

    I thought about making our rabbit run, but by the time you get the chicken wire plus wood (Treated), hinges, clasps, screws etc etc. it is far cheaper to buy one ready made.

    We eventually bought cage plus run from out local Wyevale Garden Store.

  • Cheap easy solution. Rather than have a permenant run that clogs up your garden. You should go to you local builders merchants and purchase some galvanised wire on a roll i paid 7quid for 10m x 1.4m and 4 road pegs (the things bricklayers attach stringlines to) then weave the pegs through the mesh and knock into the ground. These create the corners if you hadnt figured that out You can alter the size and shape as you please and if you need to take it down it will dismantle in minutes and roll the wire up and put away in the shed for next time.

    If anyone is interested then request some pictures and ill put them up on here

    Find an old washing horse the type that zig zag and close down flat. Split in the middle get some wire rap around the base (eg long sides) will form an a frame( Upside down V) and can be put away flat or moved around grass easily. Make as many as you want and link them together.
