Joining pieces of coroplast?

[phendrana]

Hi there! I'm new to the forum. How are you all doing?

Forgive me if this question has already been posed. In fact, I've searched the forum and haven't gotten a clear answer. But anyway, here goes: I was able to get a hold of a couple scrap pieces of coroplast. I have just enough to make a 2x3 cage. I've read of some folks taping the scraps together; however, is there a special way to tape them? I mean, should I simply lay the pieces side by side then tape them or overlap the pieces a little then tape?

Any answers out there would be a big help and greatly appreciated.
Take care,
P

I just stuck two pieces right up against each other as close as possible with no overlap, and taped across the seam with packing tape.

If I were to tape 2 pieces together, I personally would tape the underside as well. I guess for added support and piece of mind for me.

I use box rivets:

Thank you all for your helpful responses. They are all truly appreciated. I think I will begin construction of the bottom of the cage at the week's end. Wish me luck!

Best,

I overlapped my pieces about 2" and used double sided tape to hold them in place, then i used duct tape on both sides of the coroplast to secure it better.
