Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[CatieB]

Any inspiration please?

 

I would really like to move my cube to a permenant position but due to the layout you need access to all the sides and thats a bit difficult in the limited space I have. My best option given my layout would be to put the front, where the door is against a fence. But then I'd have no access to fill up food etc. Does anyone know of an answer or way to modify the side to create a door?

 

Thanks

There is a great thread here http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=58898&p=879759&hilit=cube+conversion#p879759 about a side door.

Thanks for that -I didn't find that when I searched. Its really helpful - has anyone done anything else?

[CatieB]

Also looking at that thread where the end panel has been put on the side - can this be done if the side panel is the one directly next to the cube. We don't have an extension.

 

Has anyone done it? Anyone with photos please? I don't want to try it and take the whole thing apart without success as I'll have to do the screw etc and take the cube apart too.

I can answer that, no because the run is screwed on under the lid and sides but I suppose you could cut a door like Em (Falkor did). If you ask she'll post pictures of it but you need to be brave to do that

brave or knowledgeable - I've no idea how to find someone let alone ask them a question

[Plum]

I'll go and get them.
