Great value for money and worth it

Our rabbits have free roam of the garden, so we got this for times when people are visiting like the window cleaner or friends with dogs who are not used to rabbits so we know they are safe and secure. The netting stops them getting out and other pets getting in and one half provides shade from the sun. Can be tricky to assemble on your own but with two people it is very simple. I would have preferred if the panels were all linked and then you just need to insert the last peg to keep it all together so it could be folded up easily without having to fully disassemble, but with two people it can be easily moved around. I have used cable ties to achieve this which makes it easier to put out and store away when not needed.

Good and big

Great size for my baby guinea pigs and they have not escaped from it yet. However it is flimsy so if you want to use it to protect pets from animals like dogs, foxes etc. - this will not protect them. The cover is also feels very cheap but due to it`s manuverability, price, decent size and how easy it is to pop it up and down when needed, I think it`s a decent product overall. Now I use it for supervised run time only.

It was as simple to assemble as the instructions said and easy to make in to almost any shape on the lawn. The ground was a bit uneven, but solved inserting the fixing spikes in from the second fixing second ring down instead of the top one to give greater penetration into the grass. The strong tortoise tried to move it but could not. I did not use the cover, but that seemed to be OK. After use it was easy to take down and clean for storage.

At the moment my bunnies are indoors till I get one of them done and they go outside in their hutch runs together. This gives them room to run around outside, to graze on grass and stretch their legs. It is really important that rabbits get the room to run, jump and graze. This took about 5 mins to put together, the cover gives shade and stops them jumping over the edge. Its large so you can put in tunnels, toys or hideouts. This would also be great for guinea pigs to roam outside. The run is simply pegged into the ground. And when bunnies need a fresh area of grass to explore I can just move the whole run. My rabbits love going in this. Its a reasonable price, and simple to put together.

I have 4 mini lop rabbits (a small breed and only when they where babies would they be able to get through bars) and have been using this type of run for many years so know fully well what the potential problems are and how to fix them so I am overall pleased with the two runs I bought and so are my rabbits. The run: Pros light weight (even lighter by moving one panel at a time), easy to store when not in use, simple to put together, can be extend by connecting any similar type of run, Can be made into various shapes no screws on the pegs (some runs use shorter pegs with screws which is fine until you lose the screws) Door so rabbits can be accessed not to high so most people can comfortably enter the run (which makes getting to rabbits who don't come to the door easier) Cons The door bolt: 2 of my rabbits quickly learned if they can shake the door panel enough they can get the bolt to move and if they do it enough they can open the door and escape- (I use a tent peg to secure the door more firmly) Sun protector net cover: Pro keeps unwanted things out and the rabbits in offers shade Has clips to attach to the run (other shade I have had with other runs have had Velcro or simply string) Cons shape, Only works well if the run is in the octagonal shape Fiddly, to get completely secure and it need to be secure to do job Wind, the protectors are not good with anything even slightly stronger than a light breeze, it can come unsecured leaving gaps, the clips can come off, or the protector can rip Fix for net problems: I use garden/pond netting which can be purchased cheaply in all manor or widths and lenghts and I generously cover my runs in the net (clothes pegs work well for securing net), being generous with the net means its easier to put on and secure the run, not being attached to a sun shade makes the netting catch the wind happen 90percent less. You can then put the original sun protector on top if you chose or use the taut netting to put some other kind of sunshade on.
