| Re: Tip for using Zip ties?
Easy - overlap your grids!
The connectors I got with mine were totally crap - literally every time I connected one grid the previous one fell off, so my cage uses only zip ties and lots of them.
What I did was overlap each pair of grids by two little squares. Each pair is joined together using 6 ties. I tied the top, bottom and middle square (height wise) at both edges. For the corners, where you can't overlap them, I just used 3 (top middle and bottom again).
This way the sides are all completely solid. It wouldn't hold its perfectly rectangular shape on its own because of the corners, but the coroplast base inside solves this problem.
You probably wouldn't need to use quite so many, but I would say at least 4 - top and bottom on both edges.
Hope this helps. It just means you need a few spare grids and loads of zip ties! |
