Where can I find easy DIY instructions for building a rabbit hutch and run?

Does anybody know where I can find easy DIY instructions for building a rabbit hutch and run? And would a 36" tall perimeter be sufficient enough to prevent a rabbit from jumping over?

I can't answer the first, but its a definite NO on the second. You also have to consider digging under.

I tried to provide my rabbits lots of room - they escaped so frequently, I ended up building 2.5' x 4' (or 5') x 36" tall cages for them.

No 36" is not tall enough.

No 36" is not tall enough.

I think then I will need to add hardware cloth to the bottom and top of their run.

I'm digging through my videos looking for something to show you.
Here in the one you can kind of see what I built in the background.
I'll find a better video.

Also, is keeping a bunny easier than keeping a few chickens? I only have quails at the moment. I'm deciding which is better, a bunny (new zealand or californian), or two or three hens. Does rabbit poop/urine attract flies as much as chicken poop?

Does it attact flies? Yes. As bad as chickens? Seems similar to me, but I use deep litter in both cases, which helps.

Easier?? They are certainly easier to dispatch and butcher for freezer camp.

I keep my one rabbit indoors.
He is litter box trained. No bugs and no smell.

Peanut Bunny, my smallest.

Another pic, different bunny. Using a folgers coffee as the water bowl. Rabbit will empty between 1/5th and 1/3 each day.

I feed pellets for nutrition, offer untreated white wood "boxes" and grassses from my pasture for fiber/tooth size control. No floor in those boxes, or the bunny gold piles up and flies descend.
