Materials

This run is made using strong 16G wire mesh. This is fox/dog proof and safe to use with cats.

16G panels have 45mm (approx.) timber. All our timber is pressure-treated, and our standard timber is coated with an animal-friendly stain. Our timber has a long lifespan and is well suited for being outside, but we do recommend that customers re-treat timber yearly, if possible, to help keep the weather from having an effect for as long as possible.

Mesh Options

Each run comes with the option to change the hole size. 16G wire comes in 1/2" x 1/2", 1/2" x 1", 1" x 1" and 2" x 2". The best hole size depends on what you are using the run for 16G 1" or 2" would be the most popular for cats or dogs, to keep our rats you would need a 16G 1/2" x 1/2" etc. If you would like some guidance on what mesh would suit you best, send us an email and a member of the team can advise.

Shelf Option

There is an option to add the shelf inside the run. It's been found that small animals such as rabbits enjoy being high up, so this shelf is the perfect extra space for them to explore. This has a ladder leading up to the shelf along the back wall, and the mesh panel along the front stops them from falling off. The shelf runs the length of the back of the box and is around 18" wide and around 2ft off the floor. Please be aware of how much space this shelf could take up in smaller box options.

Insulation Option

There is an option to add insulation inside the sleep box. The 40mm thick Jablite insulation boards are inserted and then covered with ply in the side panels for a tidy finish. This helps the box stay cool in summer and warm in the winter.

If you don't add insulation, the inside of the run will not be lined like the photos; it'll just be our standard fully boarded panels with a frame inside.

Entry and Roof

The box comes with a human-sized entry door for access into the box, as shown.

The mesh roof panels mean that this run is fully enclosed, stopping anything from getting in or out of the run from the top. The sleeping box has a black waterproof roof covering the box to make this watertight. The roofing sheets will overlap when the run is put together, and the sheets are mounted on a slope to allow the water to run off the top.

Fixings

The panels do not come with any fixings unless one of our fixing packs are added. The appropriate size pack needed for this specific run is the large fixing pack. This comes with 100 3" screws, a packet of 15" cable ties and 8 18" wooden 45mm pegs. (See photo for what's supplied) The colour of the wooden pegs may be brown or natural depending on the stock we have at the time. If you do not opt to add this, you will need to purchase your own fixings. The panels could be screwed, bolted, hinged, bracketed, cable-tied, etc.

Fox Guarding

You can also add fox guarding to this run if you were placing this on grass. The fox guarding is 10" strips of 2" 16G mesh that are designed to sit along the floor along the outer edge of our run and are pegged down. This makes it very difficult for any animals, such as foxes, to dig into the run from the outside to help keep your pets safe. Please see our photos for reference of this or see the product on our animal run accessories page for a more in-depth description.
