A plastic resin hutch has rigid ends spanned by a flexible cover disposed in grooves along the inside perimeter of the rigid ends. In one embodiment, the flexible cover is supported by metal rods attached to the rigid ends. In another embodiment, the cover is supported at the top by a channel and at the bottom by a radius both formed by flexing the cover along longitudinal kerf grooves on one side of the cover. The rigid ends are formed by a twin-sheet vacuum thermo-forming, blow molding or roto-molding process so as to include a door panel. The door panel includes a door that is partially cut free from the door panel so as to be integrally hinged to the door panel. The resin hutch may be transported in two shipping packages within the weight and size restrictions of common commercial couriers.

1. An improved plastic resin structure defining an enclosure including a top, sides and ends, at least one of the sides and ends having a door panel comprised of a first wall and a second wall, wherein the door panel is molded so that the first wall is fused to the second wall in some locations and separated from the second wall in other locations, the improvement wherein:the first and second walls are separated along a door perimeter such that removal of a portion of the second wall extending along at least three sides of the door perimeter and removal of a portion of the first wall extending along the same three sides of the door perimeter defines a door made of the first and second walls that is integrally hinged to the door panel and wherein the second wall of the door panel defines a door opening within the door perimeter having a projecting rim and the first wall of the door defines a lip sized to overlap the door opening rim.
