Hello neighbours. Does anyone have one or maybe even a few of these plastic garden mats please? Maybe you bought them in summer but don't actually get on with the things?
If you have them spare, I would like them to help weather proof bunny hutches. I have proper rabbit hutch covers, made from fabric and insulation for the roof and 3 sides, but they make the fronts from a clear plastic, like the stuff they use for tent windows. After the first year these windows go brittle and crack.
So I was thinking, garden rugs. They are designed for outdoor all weather use, and they are flexible so less likely to crack in freezing weather, but they'd let air through while restricting the rain. I'll chop off the existing windows (which are more gaffa tape than clear anymore) and staple them along the top front of the hutch. In daylight, or warm weather, they'd be folded back to allow daylight in, and at night just drop them back down, sort of like Venitian blinds without cords.
Thank you on behalf of my 8 adopted bunnies for reading!
