ALUMINIUM FRAMEWORK

Aluminium, unlike steel or timber, will not rust, rot or deteriorate in the weather. You can be rest assured that your enclosure will be looking just as great in many years’ time. Royal Rooster’s specially designed aluminium is made with channels in which the mesh or iron slots directly so that there are no ugly fixings on either side of the panels to keep the materials in place.

Black Frame Optional Upgrade: standard hutches are made with silver anodized aluminium framework, however black anodized framework is also available as an optional upgrade.

SMALL-SIZED GALVANIZED MESH

Sunshine Hutch enclosures are made with small sized galvanised steel mesh, 2.5mm thick with 25mm squares.  This strong mesh is difficult to accidentally damage and is impossible for foxes to chew through!

Mini Mesh Optional Upgrade: If rodents or snakes are an issue, you can alternatively have your enclosure made with 12.5mm x 12.5mm mesh that is 1.24mm thick.

MINI FLUTED CORRUGATED IRON

The curved walls and back door of the Sunshine Hutch is made using modern Zincalume (silver) mini corrugated iron. This is Bluescope steel which is made in Australia.

Colorbond Optional Upgrade: The Sunshine Hutch is also available in Colorbond for those wishing their enclosure to match other colours in their backyard. Colours currently available are Pale Eucalypt, Deep Ocean, Monument and Woodland Grey. Custom Colorbond colours are also available to order.

SUMMER VENTILATION

Unlike imported hutches, Royal Rooster hutches are designed and made in Australia, taking into consideration our very hot summers. The whole front of the housing section on the Sunshine Hutch is open to allow maximum ventilation on hot days. There are also two side ventilation sections on the sides of the enclosure, for extra ventilation in the housing area.

Weather Shield Optional Upgrade: There are optional ‘weather shields’ (as pictured) that can also be purchased to provide extra protection in wet or windy weather. One shield further encloses the housing section with still a gap for the rabbit to hop into the housing area. The other two shields go over the side ventilation areas to keep the housing area nice and cosy in the cool weather.

REMOVABLE LITTER TRAY

A great addition to the Sunshine Hutch is a removable litter tray in the housing area. This rests on brackets so will move along when you move your cage. This tray can easily be removed out the back door to clean off manure and to put a fresh layer of straw on top for your rabbit. This floor is easily cleaned with a hose or pressure cleaner and will dry very quickly. It’s made with aluminium frame and infilled with aluminium composite panel.

OPEN FLOOR DESIGN

The hutches do not have a floor as standard. However, anti-dig floors area available if needed.

Anti-Dig Mesh Floor Optional Upgrade: Optional ‘anti-dig floors’ can also be purchased for those concerned about their rabbits burrowing their way out of their hutch or concerned about dogs and foxes digging their way in. There are a choice of two mesh sizes. These come in two pieces and are fixed to the base of the hutch. The mesh sizes are 50mm x 50mm x 3mm or 12.5mm x 12.5mm x 1.24mm.

MOBILE HUTCH

As these hutches are made with aluminium rather than steel frames, they are easy to move with one person on each end of the enclosure. If however, you want to be able to move your enclosure with just one person, a wheel upgrade is available.

Wheel Kit Optional Upgrade: The optional wheel upgrade makes moving your enclosure even easier. Just turn the lever arms into the raised position on either side of your enclosure, push or pull your enclosure to a new area and then lower again.

MANUAL SLIDE UP DOOR

If you would like your rabbits to be able to have some time outside their hutch, the ‘free ranging’ manual door might be just what you need! The unit comes with a clear slide up perspex door with a hook so it can be latched to the mesh of your cage to stay open.

ASSEMBLY REQUIREMENTS

These hutches are very simple to put together and come with detailed, illustrated instructions. You’ll need a rubber mallet, an electric drill and a number 2 Philips-head driver.
