I need to buy a new rabbit run (old one got lost in a house move). I had ordered one from a company which is heavily promoted on social media but the guy in customer services is an absolute raving psycho and I'm still stuck trying to resolve the whole thing.

So ideally I want one with an upper shelter then full grass access below. Preferably fully roofed. A chicken coop would also work. Absolutely must have properly secured wire. Omlet are a big no. My neighbour recently lost her hens despite their so called "fox proof" design. The fox just ripped one of the panels open.

I'm happy to do modifications in terms of strengthening, etc but a good sized, solid, robust run under £300 which looks nice would be great.

Failing that I'll get OH to make one. He's a woodwork fanatic but I'd still rather just buy one and be done with it or it'll be super over engineered...

P.s. their usual accommodation is a 12x12 stable with lots of enrichment before anyone quotes RWAF at me. This is just for summer days.

You just gave me a horror moment - I first read you lost your rabbit in a move and want a new one. I was about to tell you that you shouldn't own a rabbit with that attitude - fortunately read again before fingers hit key board!!!

May or may not be an idea but when I was looking a few years ago I just couldn’t find what I was looking for, mainly size wise. So I bought Aviary panels and fixed them al together, one had a door already built in.
It worked really well as I didn’t have to make it as such but was able to have it as big as I wanted.

I was going to suggest buying a roll of aviary mesh and creating your own. If your rabbits dig then putting it at the base so they can eat the grass through it but not create craters may also be an idea.
