For larger breeds such as French Lops – British Giant – Flemish Giant etc…This 6ft extra-large hutch on stand is made from Redwood and has an exterior graded hardwood ply base panel.
Includes a waterproof rabbit hutch roof with insulation for the outdoors
This illustration shows the hutch with a wire door to the right hand side and the optional Winter Centre Panel fitted in the centre fixed wire position but an additional wire Inset Winter Panel in the frame of the wire door. This provides the best of both worlds in terms of making the hutch light and airy inside but on those inclement or cold nights the hutch can be completely secured with the panels inserted. These panels when fitted not only make the hutch impregnable but ensures your pet remains in a less fretful state if predators are lurking.
The stand enables you to attend the hutch on a more friendly level especially if you have trouble stooping lower.
The roof is boarded with the same shiplap as the hutch and is constructed on the same principle as the traditional roof on a domestic house. Beneath the boarding is a polypropylene twin skin rigid membrane with an air gap to ensure extra warmth and a watertight construction. The air gap provides an insulating barrier inside the hutch to help prevent heat loss. We are the only company to provide this level of insulation as an integral part of our product. The roof also has a 3” (75mm) overhang to all sides.
We only use 1st class materials for an unbeatable build quality
The hutch is constructed from Swedish Redwood and is cladded on the outside with 12mm shiplap. The door frame is made out of a substantial 34mm x 46mm section and comes with two solids boarded doors at each end and an open central wired section in the centre. The left hand end of the hutch is designated as the sleeping area and there is an internal divider that can easily be removed in seconds to allow you to clean the entire hutch throughout.
Locks included for extra security
The hutch doors come with a rabbit hutch locks for added security. This includes a black tower bolt as well as a turn button for added security. The tower bolts are a standard feature on all solid doors but can be upgraded to padlock bolts for a nominal charge.
(where a wire door is fitted. The bolt is replaced with a spring loaded catch and of course a secondary turn button for added secruity)
This hutch is made entirely in The United Kingdom by us and is not sold by any other company in the UK.
We can accommodate bespoke requirements to your hutch
This hutch can be made as both 7ft and an 8ft widths. Just ask for a quote. Eight feet widths will necessitate the door panel being sectioned into four segments and it is advisable to have the middle sections converted into doors at allow you to be able to reach to clean.
This is a superior quality and well-constructed hutch offering 25 cubic feet of living space.

Add-On Options
A Hinged Rabbit Hutch Roof Kit can be added at the rear so that it will open and close like a lid. It has a bonnet like stay to keep it up, and a hasp and staple at the front so you can lock the rabbit hutch roof closed!
Winter Proofing Panels can be fitted to cover the centre wire panels. The panels simply clip on and when fitted will keep out inclement or winter weather. The panels provide extra warmth of a night time and also maximum security for your pets.
A Central Door Conversion Kit can convert any central fixed wire panel to a wire door. Although you can reach into this area through either of the end doors, the additional kit will allow fuller access to the middle area of the hutch.
Padlock Compatible Lock Upgrade. All solid doors have a tower bolt fitted. However you can have this bolt upgraded to a lockable version which will accommodate a padlock.

For maximum protection, we can tanalise your product (a form of pressure treatment) to help give you up to 10 years without the worry from dry rot and normal decay typical to all outdoor wooden furniture. Click here to find out more.
Maintenance
All our products are finished with a Teak water based (non toxic) preservative. The timber should be re-coated with an equivalent preservative every year to ensure the maximum life span of the product.
Oil based coatings are the best as they tend to repel water before it penetrates the timber fibers.
Re-coating is best undertaken on a warm dry day or even better after a dry spell when the timber has had time to dry enough to absorb the coating you are applying.
Additional Protection
Here’s a bit of a tip – get yourself an atomizer spray!
Get yourself an atomizer spray – the sort you do your indoor plant leaves with. Most DIY shops sell what’s called a waterproofing agent. Thompson’s Water seal is a brand name but “B&Q” do their own brand.
Fill the atomizer with it and spray over the external surfaces of the product a couple of times a year. It’s really quick and easy. Don’t forget to wear appropriate mask and gloves. Follow the Health and safety instructions on the container.
