Re: Tip for using Zip ties?

Just pull them tight and they won't come off. Zip ties have little groves so they can only go in one direction. The thicker they are, the stronger, so your black ones sound good.

If you are building a second level, you may need something rigid to support the grids, as zip ties tend to act as a hinge, and you could end up with a collapsed cage. I found that my 3 level cage was too wobbly, so I drilled some holes in a long piece of wood and zip tied that to the cage.
