Rabbit Runs & Enclosures

Garden Woodcraft builds heavy-duty, predator-proof walk-in rabbit runs for sale across the UK. Ranging from 6ft folding runs to massive walk-in enclosures, our designs allow your rabbits to forage, stand, and exercise securely on grass or patio. Delivered fully assembled or in easy-to-join panels, our runs are built using 16-gauge weld mesh to keep predators out.

A secure 6ft rabbit run is the absolute minimum requirement for healthy daily exercise, providing essential protection from foxes while allowing your rabbits to safely enjoy natural sunlight and grazing.

Choosing the best outdoor rabbit run

Rabbits are highly active prey animals that require significant daily exercise outside of their sleeping quarters. The Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund (RWAF) strictly advises that a hutch alone is never enough. When browsing rabbit runs for sale, you must consider height, footprint, and ground security:

• 6ft rabbit run: The baseline standard for a pair of dwarf or average-sized rabbits. A 6ft rabbit run offers just enough length for short sprints and hops, and should be permanently attached to the hutch so the rabbits can choose when to exercise.
• Folding rabbit run: Ideal for smaller gardens or temporary grazing on fresh patches of lawn. Our folding runs are built with the same heavy-duty mesh but use secure hinges to pack flat when not in use.
• Walk in rabbit run: The ultimate setup for rabbit welfare. A walk-in rabbit run is tall enough for humans to step inside, making cleaning, feeding, and interacting with your rabbits incredibly easy, while giving the rabbits massive vertical space to jump and play.

Frequently asked questions

What makes your rabbit runs predator-proof?

Unlike cheap pet-shop runs that use flimsy chicken wire, we use thick 16-gauge galvanised steel weld mesh securely stapled to heavy timber frames. This ensures that foxes, badgers, and neighbourhood cats cannot chew through the wire or push the panels inward to reach your rabbits.

Do I need a mesh base for my rabbit run?

If you are placing the run on soil or grass, we highly recommend adding a mesh floor skirt. Rabbits are natural burrowers and can easily dig their way out, while foxes can dig their way in. A mesh base prevents both, though placing the run on solid concrete or paving slabs is equally secure.

Can a 6ft rabbit run stay outside all year?

Yes, all our enclosures are built with pressure-treated Scandinavian timber designed to withstand the wet British winter without rotting. For year-round use, we also offer weatherproof run covers that shield a portion of the run from heavy rain, ensuring your rabbits always have a dry area to exercise.
