Measurements

Does anyone know the coroplast measurements for a 1 x 2 loft? I still haven't made one and would appreciate help with the math!

Re: Measurements

You would need an 18 inches x 24 inches piece - that's for a 1x2 tray with 4" sides all around.

Re: Measurements

cavy-cool-crazy, I don't know where you got those measurements, but I sure hope they weren't used.

Re: Measurements

I don't understand. We are talking about the Coroplast here, aren't we? For a loft?

Re: Measurements

Yeah, the cubes are 14 inch by 14 inches. So, the correct measurements would be 36 length by 22 width for a 2x1 loft and having the coroplast be four inches on each side.

Re: Measurements

Yes...that's what I meant! Sorry if there were any misunderstandings - I miscalculated and forgot that 2 fourteens are 28! Thanks for correcting me, dagwell!

Re: Measurements

Just wondering why a six inch border isn't used on a loft? Do people not usually put bedding upstairs-just fleece maybe? Thanks for your help. I did much better in English!

Re: Measurements

No reason - CCC just decided to have 4" sides! You can have whatever you want

Re: Measurements

Also, it's really best to measure really well on your loft first, because not everyone does them the same way. It can make a difference on whether or not you use connectors, whether you want the front lip lower than the back, etc.

Re: Measurements

Yeah, that's true - When I'm going to build my loft (grr, nobodies ordered my bed so I can't make the new cage any time soon), I'm cutting the grids in half so the sides will be 7" high. So, I'll make the coroplast about 3" high.
