Custom Bunny Playground Plans: From Claire’s Room to a DIY Design

Claire wanted Boomer, Tigger, and Peanut to have a place to look out the window without losing the floor space they already had to roam. Her room was narrow, with two windows on adjoining walls and a closet to work around. Before I drew a single ramp, I asked her to show me the room. The photos told me what was there; her sketch helped me understand where everything could go.

1. Start with the room

Claire sent photos from both ends of the room and a simple floor sketch. That combination helped me see where the windows sat, how the walls met, and how much open floor we wanted to preserve. A photo alone can make a narrow room look wider than it is, while a sketch alone can miss a windowsill or a door that needs to open.

“The room and measurements that guided the design.”

2. Use the first sketch to decide what matters

The first concept had raised platforms, ramps, and castle-style hideouts. I shared a 3D preview so Claire could see how the pieces related to the windows and to one another. I even added the rabbits’ names to the preview so she could picture the space as theirs.

Seeing the layout gave us something concrete to talk about: how the rabbits would reach the lookout, where they could tuck themselves away, and which parts of the floor should stay open.

“First concept: window lookouts, ramps, and individual hideouts.”

3. Refine the layout before cutting any wood

In the approved layout, the raised walkways follow the edges of the room, leaving the center open. The design gives the rabbits a route between levels and places the lower play and hideout features around the perimeter. The overhead view makes that change easiest to see: you can follow the routes and see the floor we kept clear.

That’s what I like about working through a design together. It’s much easier to move a platform in a sketch than to move it after you’ve bought and cut the wood.

“Approved design preview” so readers know it shows the proposed build.

What Claire said after receiving her plan

“His creativity, attention to detail, and collaborative spirit made the entire process seamless and enjoyable.”

What to send me for your own custom bunny playground

You don’t need a polished drawing. Start with two photos and a rough sketch:

• Photograph the space from two angles. Show the floor, windows, doors, and anything that needs to stay where it is.
• Write down a few measurements. Include the usable wall lengths, how far the playground can extend into the room, and the floor-to-sill height if you want a window lookout. Tell me if wall attachment is an option.
• Tell me about your rabbits and your priorities. How many rabbits will use the area? What would you most like to add: a lookout, a hideout, or a layout that’s easier to clean? Mention anything you want to keep clear or easy to reach.
