Decided to build a new fert hutch as i think the old one was too small.

What do you all think ? Just got to felt the lid and its done.

 

 

 

 

Removeable lid above sleeping quarters with storage space above.

good looking hutch mate, if I were you though I'd raise it up on legs, not only will a flow of air keep it from getting damp, but it'll make easier cleaning, I found this out when I built a new one, was a bugga to clean the bottom section, its now raised on 2ft legs

no mate, its actually built from an old anderson shelter, when we moved here and I spotted it at the bottom of the garden, straight away I knew it would make a fine ferret court with some adjustment, our next door neighbour had dismantled theirs years ago, but was using the panels to hold back soil in a flower bed, they finally decieded to get shot of it all, so I nabbed 2 pieces to build that hutch with, cranky idea about using old stuff like "the salvager"
