I saw a run/grids for a run yesterday at TESCO. 8 grids (I'd say C&C types) that interlock, for £5. I'm quite tempted for the garden, although there would be no top, but do you think it's a reasonabl price?

a bit like this but smaller and cheaper

Sounds like a fantastic price to me!

I've been looking at loads of runs lately and finally decided to make one out of 6x6 c&c cubes for my 12 girls. I covered it with net curtains and have to admit that my girls have never been happier outside (even my chocolate Rex who generally looks utterly miserable when she's outside seemed content today). I think the net curtain gave them a feeling of protection and shelter.

Saying that I am aware that it doesn't really offer much protection and I'm always keeping an eye on them when they're outside - nothing nicer than lying in the sun looking at my piggies anyway.

You could also buy some wire mesh from a diy shop and use that as roof...
 
Thanks for this I may have a look as i want an extra pen so george and tiger can be outside at same time but separated as they can no longer be trusted with one another I shall go there tomorrow after work thanks
 
I got one of the tesco playpens to use indoors and it's good but they can jump out quite easily... it's not very high, that's all. Also the more obnoxious piggies shove the sides with their noses and move the whole thing about, as it's quite light - so not sure if it would be ok outdoors

thats actully sounds like something iam after ? i would have a pen like that for in the house to stop me from worring when i have my piggies out because the tend to want to run behind the telly and things like that (but i obvs dont let them). and for that price you can to wrong really? i think i might buy one me and my boyfriend actully work for tesco so if i get one befor you i will let * know how it is if you like ?

If so I have them, they are great but I'm not sure Id trust it outside as its not very tall.. My boys tend to climb up it and try to look over, never climbed over but I wouldnt like to risk it outside.


Might not be the same ones tho just thought Id add that..

looked very much like it. My boys are very happy in their quarters. Didn't put the cage back on for ages yesterday and they were just happy running in the tray eating and drinking and sleeping... But would need to investigate the roof part. I do have voile curtains I don't use, although my mum may not be too pleased about it :p... will see. I just like the idea that it takes very little room and space IS an issue for us.:(
