Question Is a 4 by 8 sheet big enough?

I just got a nice big 4 by 8 foot sheet of coroplast delivered and was originally planning to make it a base for my 2x6 grid cage. But I'm am now thinking I would like to make the cage a 3x6 instead. Is my one sheet of coroplast big enough to do this?

It's big enough if your sides are 3.5" rather than regular 6" high.
It's high enough if you use fleece.

Yes it fits if you makes the sides considerbly lower. Keep in mind, however, that when you use connectors it makes the cage even bigger. My 2x6 has 5 inch sides because of this.

If you have enough space for a 3x6 cage, I'd say go for it. You can put the grids together first and measure inside the connectors to see if you'll have enough coroplast.

Or you can make it a 2 and 3/4 x 6. Every inch counts!
