33 h for two, 3 weekends★★★materials 1,189 – 2,419 €

A walk-in run for 2 rabbits up to 3 kg, sized to vets’ recommendations (TVT) with every m² counted once, and a cork-insulated hutch whose roof is a resting deck. Mesh 19 × 19 × 1.45 also covers the roof and the whole floor, so a fox has nowhere to dig in and a marten finds no gap. Snow, wind and footing calculations, a cutting plan for 54 lengths.

Before you start building

This guide is informational material, not construction documentation or a professional assessment. Follow the instructions of tool and material manufacturers, safety rules and local building regulations. A piece built at home is not a certified product, even where the guide follows a European standard. Structures that carry people — beds, swings, decks, pergolas, children's equipment — should be checked by a qualified person before use. To the extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for the result of your build, property damage or injury arising from the use of this guide (Terms, section 9).
