Good idea I had one simular to that for my first three- they are a bit of a pain in the winter though and that corner underneath the house is a ***** to clean! If you could get a shed or aviary that would be better but that would do for summer you may have to revise it in winter though just to warn you. I would put lino underneath it and then you can just tip it back pull the lino out and clean it nice an easy. It's also good to make extentions from etc. If you can get hold of some drainage pipe from a builders site that is excellent stuff for play and securing different enclosures together

Cool!, i was thinking i could clad the back and sides with thin ply panels (outside the mesh) to aid with weather proofing. Good shout with the lino as well!

I think ill go down this route, and use drainage pipe to connect it to another run area round the corner.

It will be down the side of my house in a little alcove between the wall and the nighbours garage so it will be nice and sheltered with a view of the garden.
