The New Rabbitry, in detail

My plan is to use a set of 20 X 20 panels that I've had for a long time, these will be the walls and will hopefully lend a measure of protection to the rabbits they have not had for some time. These will be wire lashed together and generally require little support as they are very rigid. If they do, I have t-posts available for just that purpose, if I can find them all. The roofing is the most complicated aspect of the whole rabbitry and will consist of a simple wooden frame set on special concrete blocks, to this frame I plan on securing an ordinary tarp. And yes, I realize that I'll need to replace the tarp periodically. Because I'm just not a big fan of mud, I plan on placing flat concrete stones down the aisles between the hutches. The stacks themselves will be placed on treated wooden runners to keep them from sinking. Overall it's a fairly simple plan, now if only it can be executed!

Incidentally, I do plan on keeping some of the large hanging cages currently in use, however I will be altering the method by which they are hung. There is simply too much weight on them due to the poor roofing arrangement and it is causing the wire to bend and the end cages to warp severely. My plan for these is to use u-posts as cage legs, though I haven't determined yet whether I will need 4 or 6 per cage. These posts aren't expensive, but I'm starting out small to test them. I'll need to devise a lighter roofing system as well, but haven't quite gotten to that part yet.

Incidentally, this new rabbitry will be mobile to a certain extent. Not in that it could be moved around continuously, but that if (or when) we finally move elsewhere, this particular rabbitry will be able to be moved with us, and quite easily. I'm also hoping it will solve the dilemma I have had in the past with cleaning. All these cages will have pans, the walls will have cheap roll-up/down sides to protect against weather extremes. Yes, I think this new design will definitely have advantages.
