Not Ranked. Helpful AND tactful post? : 0
Hi everyone, well my piggys will be here saturday. I have my coroplast and am ready to make the box but my grids wont be here till tomorow. I think ive worked it out correctly -could you guys just tell me if this is correct? Ive come up with 96 x 52 1/2 for the inside of a 3x6 cage. Is this right? Ive added 12". Thanks |

I got 96" by 54". That is assuming that the grids are 14" and you want a 6" coroplast wall on all sides. |

According to the How to Make page: 53" x 39" for a 2 x 3 grid cage 96" x 39" for a 2 x 6 grid cage So for your side with 3 grids, you would want 53" and the side with 6 grids would be 96" Last edited by Laura_Leigh; 10-08-09 at 12:17 pm. Reason: I'm a little off today |

theres a few gaps round the corners but im going to clip the fleece to the sides of the grids so it shouldnt be a problem. if anything ill have to stuff the gaps with something. |

You could just make your flaps 5 3/4" versus the 6" No one will ever notice. What do you mean by gaps? If you can post a picture, we may be able to help you out to fill in the gaps Last edited by Laura_Leigh; 10-08-09 at 03:35 pm. Reason: my math still stinks... |

Ill set the cage up and post pics tomorow - then you can tell me what you think - the gaps are mainly in the corners between the coroplast and the grids. |

A regular 6" wall is 96" by 42". Add 12" on whatever side you want higher. You'd need 2 pieces of 4x8 foot coroplast or a really, really big piece. |
