• Place hutches and service aisles on a well drained surface with a slight slope. Recommended materials for the site include gravel, crushed stone or sand, but well drained concrete also works fine.
• Face hutch entrances away from, or perpendicular to, prevailing winds; hutch position should allow for maximum winter daytime sunlight into pens at the front of the hutch.
• Prepare a large enough site to allow for rotation of hutches to fallow areas. This provides a break in the life-cycle of subterranean micro-organisms.

Multimax group hutches can also be used on pasture:

• Place one MultiMax in a small pasture and rotate the hutch and pen periodically. (A worming regime would need to be considered at grass).
• Place multiple MultiMax hutches in a large pasture with bigger groups.
•  Position hutches near to each other as the herd will not separate to housing in different locations.
• Face hutch entrances away from, or perpendicular to, prevailing winds; hutch position should allow for maximum winter daytime sunlight into pens at the front of the hutch.
