If you analyze maple's cage, she has coroplast in a 2x4 grids (that is 27"x56") plus 2x3 grids( 27"x41") on the lower part. Add to this the sides of the coroplast that fold in. Up you have a 2x2 grids and almost a full 2x3 grid cage. If you recycle well your coroplast (meaning you measure it, cut it good, and reuse some parts), you can get away with 3 sheets of 4x8 inches. If not, you need 4 sheets.

PS: I know all about eye measuring. I am an artist, so that comes natural to me, not to everyone else though, including my husband, He has learned though to trust me. He can not even measure corectly with a measuring tape in his hand.
OMG, thank you for understanding the measurement issue. Both my son and I work for Transit in Miami and we've learned on how to use eye measurements, like most Bus Operators, verses any other type of measuring.

I just finished reorganizing the cages and placing the order for 4 sheets of colorplast.

Thank you so very much for evrything, you've literally made my day. Now if I just had a magic wand to pick up all the mess in my living/dinning room area, it would make my year.

I will post pics of the finished cage a little later on wen I pick up this mess.
