Animal Housing...
With many types and styles of housing, we aim to be able to supply a set-up to suit all situations, from a small basic back garden run to more elaborate or large scale keeping.

We can offer housing from our budget range which is imported stained softwood, through to our delux range which is made locally in the traditional way with pressure treated shiplap and exterior grade wood.

We have in stock a large selection of housing for you to see, take away (or have delivered), from small broody coops and rabbit hutches, to large stand-alone houses with walk in chicken runs.

Alternatively, housing can be made to suit your requirements or if you prefer to make your own we have a large selection of wire, wood & stakes for you to choose from and we are happy to give advice and help you to work out your requirements. (please see the Fencing, wood & wire page.)

Please contact us or call into our shop if you would like any more information on our large range of housing available
