Guest tagwag Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 hello not sure if im in right place with this..... after seeing pics of others courts i have decided to build a ferret court but i am struggling to find materials ie timber mesh at reasonable prices .does anyone know of any merchants etc in and around lincoln?? cheers tagwag Quote Link to post
Guest RobW71 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 The timber will not cost you that much, its the wire mesh that is expensive. I used the type they build aviaries with, that worked out, I think, around £10 for around a 2ft by 3ft sheet. Regards Rob Quote Link to post

Guest RobW71 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Nice set up doddsy, I'm getting a 6X4 shed for mine. At the moment they're in 3 joined hutches inside a 10X12 shed, with a pipe running out to the court. Do you let them run the whole inside of the shed? Regards Rob Quote Link to post

The remaining area is used for my nets and their feed,disinfectant etc etc Quote Link to post

doddsy1970 9 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 doddsey nice set up what you using for the roofing? cheers im not if its too bad for them outside they stay in simple as that. The flooring on the outside is the wood bark so its easy to keep clean it has tubes in there for them half a tree for them to climb and branches for them to climb all over Quote Link to post
