One of the most common runs to come up in an internet search are silver-coloured metal runs.
They are extremely handy as they are light, they fold away and come in acceptable sizes. Many people have used them for years and years and are very happy with their form and function. They are useful for some extra time out on the lawn or for fencing off an area, however there are many problems.

- They are flimsy and can be bent easily by a fox

- Some brands have large gaps between the bars

They should not be used as a 24 hr run space and, personally, I will not pass adopters housing if they are using a metal run. Whilst 'metal' suggests strength the opposite is true. A good quality heavy wooden run with firmly fixed small mesh, high gauge wire is much safer. It is possible to buy metal aviaries, these are made from a completely different material and offer complete safety
The only safe enough metal runs are from Runaround and are made rom pre-galvanised 3mm thick 3x1" mesh |
