Electric fences?

Ah, ok, like some thin (i/d) silicone tube?

That was one of my thoughts. ;-)

Noted and understood (their function).

Yes, *if* we are to retain the very convenient 'patio area' in front and to one side of their main hutch / run.

Let me try to pain the picture. Mum has a rectangular garden , one side grass, one side concrete with a concrete path down the middle.

The hutch is a wood frame double story jobby with the ground level 'run' (probably 6' wide by 5' deep x 2' high) with a rectangular weld mesh stapled on the inside (in whole panels per side) and a wire roof over back half.

The hutch part is the same width as the run, about half the depth, two feet height and 2/3rds wire at the front (door / wall).

Previously, she had a modular panel steel frame and wire infill border that ran about 3' clear across the front and down the left side of the run part. The back of the run is close to the fence and the right a plastic storage shed.

So, what we wanted to do is extend the front right of the run forwards and the back left sideways sufficiently to give us something to attach the patio barrier back to, but that meant the (4) wires that ran round the run would have to pass between the hutch and patio where they met at the b/l and f/r.

So as to minimise the direct impact on the hutch and increase the distance of the wires from the hutch, we created 4 corner 'angle' sections from untreated pine (44 x 28mm and 28 x 18mm + 28 x 18 and

The idea is that these corners only really need tacking to the hutch as the wires will be like binding straps (but not that tight).

The door has it's own battens, insulated rings and wire and will be joined to the man wires via a short section of 'drop cable' at the top / hinge (where the rabbits can't chew it).

The object of this exercise is to deter Mr Fox from lingering and making nose that would wake the neighbours (at night).

If the run is open to the patio then the electric fence would be off as the rabbits would be able to get out into it and of course Mr Fox could also get in, although I'm not sure he would make it up the ramp and into the bedroom, during the day with my Mum wandering about?

When in their lawn run they (should have) have their bunker. ;-)

It comes to us all sooner or later. ;-)

Like I said, we can hardly undo them! ;-)

Understood.

I intended it to be the earth rod, which is in turn connected to the energiser earth (in case that matters).

Ok.

A.

There is no mesh under their feet (not good for their hocks I understand) so it would only ever be the real ground (in this case the concrete).

So I saw it as:
