found these, in the sale. i know ive seen people on here with these, just wondered how sturdy they are? easy to fold? strong?
one is 96.5cmx88.5x47, the other is 152cmx91.5x47

I'm leaning towards the smaller one but wondering how many piggys could go in it at a time compared to the big one?

works out roughly £35 or £48

you must forgive us silly brits.
i couldn't access the website as it had a popup box to fill in, but my flemish/dutch/belgian isn't good enough
looking at the small picture they look ok, and cheaper than here in uk. would you be able to cut and paste details onto the forum?

If it is te metal ones you are referring to, I wouldn't leave a piggy unattended in it as I think they are open top. They are fine though if you are planning on sitting outside with your piggies whilst they are i their run. If you mean the wooden ones, they are fine :) xx
 
sorry yeah its the wooden ones with that have the sliding open/closed roof. didnt realise others couldnt get to that site in the uk :)

Sorry, I couldn't get on to the site to have a good look at the pictures. A lot of outdoor runs don't fold up so I was trying to look at that.
I've been having a browse round on ebay and this is the best looking type of folding run that I've seen in UK,

but without actually seeing one, it's hard to know how easy it is in practice.
Good luck with the hunting. :)
 
hi not sure the one on the above link is that good quality from what i've heard on rabbit forum. i too am looking for a 6ft collaspable run but only one I've found that could possibly be decent is £120 which is silly for a run which is only a bit of mesh and wood. was considering building one but I am rubbish at that type of thing and my boyfriend is worse :)) if anyone knows of anyone who can make one for me I'd be grateful
