My Greenhouse-Rabbitry Feb 1992

This is a picture of the front of my new rabbitry. The supports and rafters are all that are up. I covered the whole thing with 10 x 50 ft, 6 mil plastic (bought at Wal-Mart) to help protect my kids. The front is 8 feet tall sloping to 6 feet tall in the back. Please note that the plastic does NOT go all the way to the ground. This insures plenty of fresh air circulation all around the rabbitry.

This is looking down the main aisle of the rabbitry.  Eventually, there will be 5 cages hung across the far end whose primary use will be for growing kits out.   By this  spring, all the cages will be hanging from the 2 x 6 rafters and heaven help the first person who says they are hanging by string. God invented baleing wire for a multitude of purposes.   By making them all hanging cages, it will simplfiy cleaning the ground underneath them although I do eventually plan to install a self cleaning system below the cages. The tin roof will be put in place this spring. When everything is set up, there will be a 6 foot chain link fence completely surrounding everything. NOTE: 10/02 - due to knee surgery in 4-02, it proved impossible for me to get the roof on as originally planned. Since the original plastic has holes from normal wear and tear in it, I will be putting a new roll of plastic over the old one for additional protection this winter.
