Coroplast..

Okay, I have seen people say that you might have trouble transporting coroplast, well we have a 15 passenger van, so when I get coroplast I won't have any trouble right?

Re: Coroplast..

I guess it depends on how big of a sheet you get, but I just picked up a 4X8 sheet in my midsize SUV and had no problems getting it and three kids in there.

Re: Coroplast..

Okay. There's no doubt that I am going to get a 4x8 sheet, probably 2 or three since I'm making a big cage!

Re: Coroplast..

Just if you have any problems, try rolling it up. Here is a link to show you how.

Re: Coroplast..

I got two 4x8 sheets of coroplast and they fit in the back of a pick-up truck. The sheets were sticking out the back because 4x8 is really BIG. But, I had a cover for the pick-up bed so the cover held the coroplast in. The 4x8 sheets shouldn't be any problem if you have a van.

Re: Coroplast..

I set up my cage on my kids' train table that was no longer in use. And I have a mid-size SUV and was able to get the coroplast in there - just bending it (not to a crease) a little.

Re: Coroplast..

you can roll the coroplast just not tightly and try a 4 X 8 sheet or wood or get cubes and use them to make a raised cage check the forum pictures for plenty of idea's

Re: Coroplast..

I can roll up a sheet and get it in the backseat of a Suzuki (which is the size of a small Honda). You shouldn't have any problems in a van.

Re: Coroplast..

I'm planning on having a kitchen area and since I have a petstore cage I was thinking about using the bottom for a kitchen area, I'm not exactly sure how high up it is, but I think it's about 5-6 inches high? I'm not sure, it's packed, so...would they be able to get into that or would I need a ramp?
