I've also seen someone list a cube as mk1/mk2. They look the same, so I'm just guessing it has wooden roosting bars, and gives you a better indication of the age But I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along - I was confused myself

I think there were just a few minor tweaks to the original. Nothing that a person on a galloping horse would be able to spot. Might be worth phoning Omlet to ask.

We have one of the very early cubes.

I had a look at a newer model at Gardeners World Live last year and there were some minor differences.

From memory the back panel had been redesigned to improve water drainage.

The catches to release the lid have been improved.

I believe the undercarriage has been beefed up too.

And of course plastic roosting bars.

 

I am not sure if there was ever an official mark 2 or whether it is just a result of continuous improvement of the original.

 

The most significant change is that of the back panel. The original design is prone to leaking water into the cube under a serious downpour. There were some retro fit stick on rubber things issued to improve the design. I am not sure how effective they were because I had already botched ours up with hose pipe before they came . The new back panel has resolved this issue I believe.

 

There may well have been other improvements I am sure Omlet will advise if you ask them.
