I just made mine to suit the end of that shed mate, over all its 2m high by 2m wide and 550mm deep, and divide evenly into 3, since that I have added a large roofed run/play area with logs hammock tubes etc, and it's accessed by a couple of bits of tubing, hope it helps mate atb with your decisions

I bought a 7x3 bike shed from shedmonkey (https://shedmonkey.com/product/apex-compact-bike-shed-3-x-7). 

 

With the opening framed out for a full height mesh door on one side, top and bottom mesh doors on the other side, a few shelves / platforms and hammocks and pipes inside to give a bit more space it's absolutely ideal. 

The beauty of this is you can shut one of the  shed doors over in cold / windy weather or in storms or really cold conditions you can shut the other door across to virtually closed (I put a concrete block in the doorway and lean another against the door to stop it closing completely.) once the weather picks up you can open up both doors and they get plenty of daylight, and fresh air. 

 

I'll post pics when I get chance

I found with some thing similar in the winter the run gets a mess constantly wet and messy with thing coming out of the hutch nice in the summer but I prefer a nice hutch

[jetro 5,349]

was that on a grass run terryd.

no concrete lol

[jetro 5,349]

i understand now lol. 

was just thing it would be good for the ferrets to have a large run.

plus it comes ready made which is a big advantage to me since im terrible at wood work lol.

The bigger the better ... I have two large aviary type ferret courts with tubes and wheels to keep them fit ......

[jetro 5,349]

the run is 8ft long  and 3ft wide.

the housing is 3ft 4ft.

plenty big for 4 to 6 ferrets.

What kind of wheels you use? Are they any good?
