Hi,

I live in the UK and I used to get all mine from B and Q. They were £10 a box! I'm not sure if they have any now. I came on here to ask a similar question to you.

I am looking for the mesh grids....the same as the c and c cubes but with mesh as i want to make a big rat cage and the normal cubes have too big gaps for rats.

If any one knows of where to get either of them now in the UK, that would be great.

Sorry to butt in on your thread Econerd.

Wickes are selling the mesh grids for £24.99

**Astrantia** · #4 12-28-07, 04:47 pm

Are they on the Wickes website at all? What would you search for?

**Econerd** · #5 12-29-07, 02:14 pm

Yeah I tryed the B n Q web site but didnt fine them, also Argos, Focus and pound stretcher...nothing.

**daftscotslass** · #6 12-29-07, 03:07 pm

They're not on the Wickes or B&Q websites. You actually have to go in to the stores I'm afraid! Have a look in the UK section for places that stock them online.

Hi everyone,

I went into my local Wickes today at Folkestone, Kent and they had them! They had 4 packs on the shelves. Each pack contains 4 cubes (17 grids). They are silver with black connects, with the smaller mesh holes (which are fine). The ticket on the shelf read £4.99 a pack! I was like, woooooah cheap. So I bought 2 packs. When the guy rang them up on the register he said 40-something pound please. I said like, no they say £4.99 a box on the shelf! So a senior member of staff went to the shelf, took the ticket off corrected it on the register and I got both packs for £9.98!!!

So maybe try going into your local Wickes, or even ring the Folkestone one and have them delivered from there (though I think they will have realised their price mistake and changed the ticket of the shelf now).

Brilliant Astrantia!!!

Our Focus closed a few weeks ago - it is becoming a Wickes. I have heard that this is a nation wide thing - so it is maybe worth chedking out!

**daftscotslass** · #9 12-30-07, 02:25 am

What a bargain! I think they should be £24.99

**Astrantia** · #10 12-30-07, 03:24 am

Yep, think they should of been £24.99. The new boy is going to get a slap on the wrist for messing up that one, hehe. Must of been my lucky day!

And just another tip for everyone looking for cage building supplies... For correx/coroplast/cordex/polypropylene/corrugated plastic sheets. I asked my brother who is a tiler and my other brother who's a builder about where you could get them. Well my tiler brother says they use it all the time to put over tiles after completing jobs or for underlining walls. You can get it any colour (as we all know) and where they get it from is Jewson's the builders merchant! Jewson - The UK's leading supplier of building materials and industry expertise. They can order as many or as little as you want, any size or colour at a very reasonable rate. So I highly suggest checking them out!

Hi guys...not sure if anyone one is still interested in this topic, but I picked up couple of storage cubes from B&Q yesterday for £22.99 each. Each one has 24 grids and 28 connectors.

They do the grids...

Perhaps you wanted that size specificially, but grids in the above link (for the shoe rack) are only 7" (185mm), only about half of the regular standard grid which is 14" (35cm).

I have a list of possible material sources (at least 20) for UK if anyone would like it. Email me at cccages@aol.com. Not sure if it's up to date, but I add to it every now and then when someone finds grids in UK.

**CavieBellelove** · #19 11-26-08, 04:54 pm

I found some on amazon too! great price 40 for £22.50
Mine should be coming shortly

**Jemima** · #20 12-08-08, 05:36 pm

I have just bought some great cubes from Robert May. Check out the website under wire cube mini grid panel. £20 for 17 grids and 20 connectors. You have to pay postage too but it's the only place I found them. The screwfix ones were mesh not wire and more expensive too.
Have just built a 4 x 2 and am waiting to pick up some correx ready for getting the piggies next week. Can't wait ! Hope this helps someone.
