I am designing my pen/barn. I have looked through all the pictures in the gallery and read several threads. But I would still like to see some more pictures. Could you guys post some pics of where your bunnies live ? Whether its a cage, a run, a pasture, a movable tractor a hutch ect. Just trying to get some good ideas ! Thanks!
 
Here is a pic of my meat rabbits grow out pen. It is 10 x10 has a roof, concrete floor, open air on 3 sides with 16 guage wire walls, lots of hiding areas and a house area to keep them warm in the winter. - gallery/image.php?album_id=191&image_id=1936&view=no_count

My 10 breeders are all in cages in an adjoining room that is 10x10 with 4 solid walls with windows, a concrete floor and a butcher station.
 
These are a work in progress - cattle panel shelters with cages underneath. Working on making them a bit more sturdy and pleasing to the eye, although in their current state they are serviceable. :)

This is a hutch I built out of an old shelving unit - again it's gone thru a few modifications since I built it but it's held up quite well :)

Nice looking set up!
The shelving unit hutch is too cool!
I am thinking I want to use cattle panel shelters. I am wanting to go with a colony. You used 16ft panels right? Can you tell me how wide they are, and how tall (in the center)? How are your tarps holding up to the weather ?
 
Yep the panels are 16 foot. One shelter is nine feet wide and about 5' 4" tall. The other is 8 foot by about 5' 10". So far the tarps are doing great they are the cheap ones though and I'm sure I'll be replacing them eventually. The one shelter that is two panels deep I'm finding it to be rather stuffy when the sun is out - not a big deal now but by spring I'm gonna have to find a way to improve air flow and cooling. Thinking of removing the tarps making some sort of roof on the underside of the panels and growing vines, roses or something over the top...and a fan probably :)
