Hutch Help!

Ooh I like the fact the sleeping part just has a little arch way too, not a huge cut out! The plastic floor also looks great. I will definitely look seriously at Ryedale.

I like that there's a little step to stop hay coming out so much when they come out of their bed. And also that it's to the back wall of the hutch rather than at the cage front part. Should be more cosy less draughty. Might be a bit darker in that respect though

If it's any plus, he takes a deposit upfront then balance on delivery. Maybe split it over two pay packets, rather than having to pay all up front with online orders 🤷🏻‍♀️
 
Ooh I am convinced by this! I hadn’t noticed the little step into the bed area but as you say it’s another bonus! What’s his lead in time from order to delivery? How far before I need it should I order it? Won’t need it until the end of April.

Well I'm just finalising my order with him over WhatsApp as we speak. Last night he was saying it should be ready this month. I'll let you know what he says when he finishes working my order out 😊

They are amazing. I've never seen anything like them, sizewise, build quality, solidness and strength. The attention to detail is fab, and seeing your dream hutch brought to life, well you can't put a price on that!

:yikes: How can anyone think that would be worth buying? It looks like it would fall apart as soon as you try to move it! It also looks a lot like one which was being sold with animals included a while back, though that might be my imagination.

I bought the Chartwell double hutch at the beginning of December, I haven't yet been able to put it together as the outbuilding for the piggies isn't ready yet, so I hope I don't have the same problems as you, @Piggylove82

I love my Chartwell double hutch. I'm so pleased I bought it. It was fairly easy to put together, mind you there were 3 of us!

It looks like it's a bunny's current home, but it looks disgusting. Small, worn, so dirty 😔
 
Chartwell just didn't do it for me 😔. I've paid more for my Ryedale hutch but it's definitely money well spent.

Aww, that little black face looking out of the tunnel, as if to say 'excuse me, are you taking my photo?' 💕

I'm glad you're having a lot of years out of your hutch. Some of the panels I received for the Chartwell 6ft were not properly put together. Tongue and groove not slotted together properly. Replacements were just as bad. And then because the back wall was just thin plywood (like my Pets at Home hutch) I had to fork out for the hutch snuggle and hutch hugger to compensate, bumping the overall cost up by over £100. My pigs are outside all year, all seasons. They need something substantial. For me, the Chartwell didn't stand up to that 😔
 
yes mine are outside hutches all year round.i like the covers as has a fly screen /windy weather screen which is very useful.everyone uses whats best for them and there piggies !🙂
 
I've finished painting my hutch, but all this rain 🤷🏻‍♀️. Well, call me a wuss ball, but I don't want to put it outside now 😩
