My new cage.

This is one of my new cages

I use a ice chest for my watering system and run my pvc pipe in the back of my cage

My guttering for the rabbits poop runs in to a Lowes bucket that I have drilled several holes in and put 4`` - 5`` of peatmoss for the pee, then landscape cloth to catch the poop.

I have run a drain line to the guttering to flush the poop and pee in to the bucket

Artpick, while your tin is new I would put some plastic/tarp over it and maybe hole it in place with some magnets or something and change it out as needed. The rabbit urine will rust that tin quick. Ask me how I know??

Thanks for the info Fire-Man
Would the plastics ones work better? There more $$ than the tin ones but...
And where is your poop going to? I see the pipe going into the ground

I do not feel the plastic ones will work better. I was happy with my set-up when I got it finished. The urine goes under ground to a homemade septic tank. I catch the poop on screen wire frames you can see under the cages. I use the poop to feed my MANY worms and put the extra in the garden as well as the worm castings. About a year after I made this setup I was sick of it, the tin was rusting which made it harder to keep clean. I would spend several hours per week cleaning---spraying the tin---It got old. You can only see part of my setup I had 22 cages all setup this way. If I was going to do this setup again I would design it where I could use a tarp/plastic and use a painted or treated wood instead of tin(but the tin as support will work) to support the plastic. I would design it where the plastic was easy to change and I would change it when needed. If you have not seen my New rabbitry I will tell you---It is So Easy to keep up. I been using it for about 7 months now and I bet I have less than 2 hours in cleaning time in 7 months, that would count dumping the poop screens about once a week or as needed. My rabbitry has NO smell or urine---if it gets the lightest smell I move it. Can I LOVE my rabbitry---I do!! Here is a couple pictures.

This one a like.
Next one should be 4 levels for 8 compartments.
The tin corrosions you can silve by painting it with tar disolved in gasoline.
It will harden good and become acid proof.

Dang Fire-man nice set up!

Very nice set up! Great job!
I love those rabbits! Very pretty!
