Recommended Posts

well guys and gals i have almost finnshed the court i started months ago so here is the construction up untill now all it needs is to be lifted into place and painted up so it looks presentable.. more for the wife then the ferrest i dontthink they give a dam. lol oh and to date its only cost me £12.40 everything is reclaimed form here there and everywhere going to show it does not have to cost a fortune just patience and a lot of asking aout.

 

starting off with a simple 2x2 reclaimed timber frame with high fitted door to stop escapee's.

Think that chicken wire will give you some trouble mate better spending the cash and buying proper mesh

 

 

trust me they wont be getting out of there its a very high gauge i had trouble cutting it with proper cutters plus they cannot get at it as there is a wood base 2 feet up.

 

stealthy i think it will probably be blue to blend in with the old fence.

good on you for thinking of the ferrets,

 

but Id replace to bottom panel, looks like veneered chipboard?, will bloat and break after getting damp, ideal escape route

 

no the bottom pannel is mahogay used to be shelving from my school when i was a boy my dad is now the caretaker there and its all been replaced, the whole frame is the same so will last a lifetime.

sorry stubby just saw what you meant under the hutch... that is just a shelve that is not attached to it in anyway just that its under the hutch.
