 They're definitely not
designed for only person to set up!  :)

Yes, I've tried it, even 2 people can have trouble with that style.


The whole yard is fenced in for Romeo, so rabbits actually can't get
in right now
And if they did, boy would they be sorry when Romeo noticed them! I can imagine Romeo's ears popping up and him growling, "Something wicked this way hops!"

For instance, if you look at his picture, you will
notice the edge of the roofing has a sag- water will
accumulate in there and bring it down. Chris needs to
stretch it taughter so the water rolls completely off
it.

I had to take the whole thing apart and start over again to put the sides
on anyhow, so I tightened things up somewhat now.  They're definitely not
designed for only person to set up!  :)


What I can't tell is if it a cloth or plastic type
roof... the plastic (similar to a tarp with plastic
reinforced fibers) doesn't last in the sun either....

The roof is cloth, but the sides are like plastic tarps.  Everything
is covered by a two-year warranty, though.


That said, since he is using it as a temp shelter till
the weather gets better and a weekend up and down
thing, he will probably make it the season.

It will probably come down on our frost-free date:  May 15.


Another thought for Chris is to line it with a rabbit
fence. All that new green will bring them right inside
to do some munching....

The whole yard is fenced in for Romeo, so rabbits actually can't get
in right now.  But it's a good thought for future reference!
