Each summer resident at my dacha I would like to breed some animals, for example chickens, quail, or rabbits, these are three types of animals, which are mainly planted by summer residents, or owners of country houses.
The advantage of these species is their small size, sociability, fecundity.
After all, rabbits are not only valuable fur but also 2-3 kg of dietary easily digestible meat))). Rabbits are very quiet, calm animals, which is the whole charm of raising rabbits in the country, they, unlike chicken, for example, do not cackle and do not crow, thereby not creating noise problems for your beloved neighbors who are already watching every rustle like partisans.
But in order to breed any living creature in the country, first of all, it needs to be kept somewhere, that is, to have a place where under the roof of some sort of shed it would be possible to place cells with your animals. Also, rabbit breeders make cells in the open air, and in the open air, observing the rules of breeding. The street cage must strictly have a two, or a single-pitched roof, there should be no drafts being blown, otherwise the pets will often get sick, well, access to sunlight and clean air is ensured by the lattice mesh on the doors and windows.
The author decided to have several rabbits for his children in his country house so that they would care for and take care of their pets. It is very important in raising a child, he will have some kind of pet, and rabbits in the country are a very good solution. Kids playing outdoors can, and at the same time take care of their pets. He decided to build a cage for rabbits in the open, but with the possibility of partial disassembly for compactness, with the aim of shelter in case of inclement, stormy weather. To do this, he makes a stand with shelves separately with a height of 80 cm, and also additionally placed on it a couple of shelves for the convenience of storing food, or hay during feeding, or cleaning the cage. The roof was gabled and covered with bituminous tiles, gathered the base of the cage from bars, plywood on the rear walls, and the front walls were made of wire mesh for the penetration of sunlight and fresh air.
And so now let's take a closer look at what he needed to create a house for rabbits do it yourself, and how he conducted this work.
Materials: whetstones, plywood, shingles, loops, latch, piano loop, universal tape, plexiglass, screws, staples.
Instruments: detachable circular saw, screw-screw, mill, drill, hammer, stapler, clamps, angle, ruler.
And so the first thing will do is stand with shelves, here the author provides a diagram of the stand.
And away we go, at first it cuts the blanks for the stand according to the given sizes.
Then he polishes all the edges of the saw cuts.
And then he makes the assembly of the stand for the house of rabbits.
And so he put together the first part of his idea, that is, a stand for the cage. Then he takes on the most difficult part of the project - this is the assembly of the house for rabbits. Here again is a drawing diagram with dimensions.
And the author proceeds to build the house.
Makes frames for the doors of the house.
Sawed at an angle on a cutting saw blanks for the roof.
Then fastens with a bracket, for the convenience of twisting the details of the roof ridge, since they are located at an angle.
And then, after making another sketch, he proceeds to building roofing.
Then he cuts the plywood, and proceeds to the roof.
Next it covers the roof with shingles.
Then he wraps the cage doors with a lattice net, and mounts the latches.
I sawed out the shape of a rabbit from plywood, painted it, and set it on a cage.
Then sawed and inserted plexiglass in the end part of the cell.
Then, inside the cage, makes additional shelter for the pets in case of no weather, and for sleep, so that no one would disturb.
He made and painted a ladder, installed inside a house for rabbits.
So the whole construction is completed, the house for rabbits is ready, and is waiting for the settlement of its furry residents. The author is very pleased with his work, and how happy his children are knowing that they will have real rabbits.
