    It's a bent grid, turned up on end and zip-tied to the cage.

    If you want to bend a grid, find the place where the outside rim comes together.

    Put that grid on the floor with that place right in front of your feet, and with the wires on the grid on the top side.

    Put your feet almost to the halfway point on the grid, reach down, and pull up the far edge.

    If you have the place where the outside edge is joined on one of the sides, or if you have the grid wires facing down, the grid will break.

    Re: help

    I posted this picture on another thread with my bent hay rack.

    The grids I have are from bed bath & beyond, and they come with extra "shelf" grids with little hooks on them. I didn't have to use zipties since my grids have these little hooks, but if you are using a regular grid I suggest you use some pipecleaners (really tightly wound) so that you can remove and put back the hay rack easily for cleaning purposes.
