Building Process
Procure the Components
Venture out and gather your supplies, focusing particularly on obtaining furring strips of substantial size and chicken wire to ensure your playpen is both sturdy and secure.
The Initial Division: Take each furring strip and sew it mindfully into precisely two halves, each measuring 4 feet in length to form the playpen’s skeletal structure.
Assemble the Framework: Attach the halved furring strips at the corners with two deck screws for each junction, creating a solid base structure.
Secure the Enclosure: Neatly staple the chicken wire onto your forming frames, ensuring that the enclosed area is safe and impenetrable for your little explorers.
Placement of Eye Screws: Affix the eye screws where needed—these will act as anchoring points for your structure, aiding in stability and alignment.
Unification with Zip Ties: Organize the panels into a circular enclosure and use zip ties to connect each panel securely at the joints. Designate one joint to remain unsecured, as this will function as the door in conjunction with the hook fasteners.
Craft the Treehouse: Construct a whimsical treehouse from scrap plywood and wire without following a strict design, letting creativity lead the way. Secure it to the actual tree with nails, and create a robust and climbable tunnel leading into it, fixed with hardware cloth and placed on sturdy landscape blocks.
Voila! You have completed a comfortable, stimulating environment that your bunnies will surely adore.
