I'm in the planning stages for my cage still but I want to have everything worked out before I start if possible. I'm planning on making at least a 2x5 but hopefully a 2x6 (I'm almost positive that's what it'll end up being as it will fit in the space.) It'll be a covered cage as I have cats and a dog and it'll be in the rec. room/daycare room so lots of kids around. I'm going to use the wire shelving as a lid. Possibly cut in half so I don't have to open the entire length just to pop in their food or hay. Anyway my question is will I need a support somewhere to help support the lid and roof or do the connectors hold things up enough that it won't cave in if a cat hops up there? I'm hoping not to need a support as I think it'll make laying the fleece in there a bit trickier but I certainly don't want a cat landing on one of the girls! What do you pros think?
