yep it is just a standard pic. Check the measurements against your hutch measurements. I think they could really do with improving their pictures.

Remeber you are measuring from floor of hutch to roof top not bottom of leg to roof top. the 2cm depth won't be an issue. The way the front velcros around will cover that space no problem.

If it's that sort of size, a normal £15 motorbike cover would do the job Very Happy

Hi there, Wave
We have the Rose Cottage for our buns.
Last winter I put two layers of silvered bubble wrap (B&Q were doing it 3 for 2 or something like that) on the top, sides and back - held together with Duck tape.
Hutch hugger on top - snug as a bug.

When the weather is really bad I put a tarp over the roof of the run and make an additional cover from a large poly sheet (B&Q again) that goes over the hutch and stretches down over the run in front. This is it with the layers rolled back:

One side is open so it's still ventilated, but it does protect them really well. The nice thing is that if it's raining you can lift it up and go underneath to replenish hay, feed etc and you and the buns and the hutch stay dry.

The cheapest I've see the hutch hugger on line is here:
