I just got a rabbit a few weeks ago, she's about a year old Lop named Clover~ImageUploadedByRabbit Forum1394006825.882575.jpg
As the winter slowly draws to a close, I am beginning to figure out and put together an area in out large yard for her to play, SUPERVISED of course as I love near woods and I would die if anything happened to her.

I don't want to keep her in a hutch overnight or while I'm not outside as we have coyotes on out land. SO

I'm trying to figure out the best playpen/fencing I should use so she has more room to run when I'm outside.

Any suggestions? She's a jumper, so it had to be pretty high. ImageUploadedByRabbit Forum1394006993.444423.jpg
 
I use a 30" high pet exercise pen (sometimes two hooked together). To be extra safe if I'm not sitting right there with them, I clip some cargo netting that I bought at Joann Fabrics to the top with clothes pins. We have hawks that sometimes circle around when the rabbits are out and I am always worried they might swoop down and try to grab them. I am thinking of buying or building a run with a wire top too like the one in the picture below.

I use one of these:

Like Bville, I worry about predators and so it had to be one with the roof. No hawks around here, but a few birds that would try their luck and the next door neighbour has three cats.
 
I prefer either with the roof--we have had climber in the past and you won't be able to catch them if they get out. Peanut is one and she's the fastest bunny I've ever seen.
