Can the bottom tray be removed and left off so the dropping fall to the ground outside? How high is the bottom of hutch from the ground?

Yes, you can remove the tray and liner but make sure that the metal grate in the cage bottom is secure. And, the height is ~11 inches off the ground.

Unfortunately no, it won't. I take the entire top off if I want to add a lot of compostable material. Not always the most convenient thing to set stuff on the ground. I've learned to live with it.

We hang ours on a stack of hay bales. You could set it on the ground but yes it would be low.

No, the height of the frame is fixed. You might be able to drop it two inches or so by removing the wheels.

The bottom of it sticks in the ground. If you push it down you could add tent states if you want but I do not think you need it.

Hey Crystal, it has a removable drop tray. I gave it to my daughter as a gift and she loves it. Not the fanciest, but works great.. Hope that helps.Mike

There is no bottom with this raised bed-sits flush with the ground. Very easy to assemble and worked perfect-think I may order one more for this planting season! Hope this helps!

No, this is an outdoor hutch and the bottom sits directly on the ground with no bottom closure. You would have to put a heavy duty mat or something under it if you want to use it inside.

You just lift it all the way up to the top and it will fall back down to the bottom. Then you lift it slowly to the position you choose. :-)

Yes it can be removed however the portion that measures weight is super small and somewhat recessed so you really need to use the tray.

The tray is plastic and it covers the entire length of the hutch. The distance between the mesh wire bottom and the tray is ~2" thus necessitating the tray being emptied every couple of days (which is a good idea anyway). If droppings/litter are allowed to build up, the tray becomes difficult to open and you'll end up with a big mess on the floor/ground. If you live where cold temps prevail in winter, care should be taken not to crack/damage the plastic tray while cleaning it. A decent cage overall but keep the exterior painted or varnished for maximum utility.

Our unit only has 2 leg sections of 12 inches each and the tray section which can be adjusted to be level or tilted at any position, so with one leg section as the base and flat on a surface, the maximum height for the bottom of the tray section would be 12 inches. The one in the image has 3 sections, so with one section as the base, the bottom of the tray section would be at 24 inches.

Yes it can come off. I dont think i could recommend it though.. it add stability to the whole thing and that is a pretty long drop..

You need to take it down...but frankly it is not that high and most adults can just step over it. Even if you have to take it down, it is very simple to put it right back up.

Put some weight (such as a cinder block) on the bottom step to lower the center of gravity. That will stabilize it enough to do the job.

No, it needs to be bolted down. I wouldn't risk this thing dropping to the floor. That would be a shame because it's really nice

The tray can be removed, the inaccuracy of the scale, though, cannot. My Can't Weigh Gem20 is in a landfill somewhere.
