Question Found places that had Coroplast

I was looking through the find materials at the main page at Cavycages.com and found a couple people that found Coroplast here. How big is 4x8 piece of Coroplast? I mean 11.95 + tax isn't that bad for colored Coroplast, is it?


Thanks for any help! Yay! Sandy and Carly might get a C&C cage really soon!!!!!!

What? Don't you mean 4'x8'?

A 4x8 sheet of coroplast would be 4 feet wide by 8 feet long. And, nope, $11.95 isn't bad at all!

Re: Found places that had Coroplast

Would it be enough to build a cage big enough for 2-3 Guinea Pigs?

Re: Found places that had Coroplast

Saying you build a 2x4 C&C, yes it would be big enough.

Re: Found places that had Coroplast

How big would a 4x8 build? Like the minimum? I just wondered because if it can make more, then the bigger, the better!

If you get the flat 4x8 sheet and score it 6 inches in, you can make approx a 3x6 (in grids) cage.

Re: Found places that had Coroplast

Yes, that is a 4x8 sheet. It depends on if you want sides or not, and if you want sides, how high?

Re: Found places that had Coroplast

Thank you for correcting me pigluvinARK. I'm kind of tired so my brain is not working right.
A 3x6 is equivalent to a 2x8 (?? is the 8 right?).
You could make a two story cage if you made it a 2x4 on top of a 2x4 with no sides.

Re: Found places that had Coroplast

Meaning if you built a 3x6 you could house about 3-4 pigs. That is what you were asking.
And you could make a two story cage if you made it a 2x4 on top of a 2x4 with no sides.
