Unhappy Coroplast - Nowhere To Be Found!

Try as I might I cannot find any coroplast supplier near me. The ones that will deliver all charge a fortune and I wouldn't be making any savings, on the shop bought indoor houses.

What would be my next best bet after a C&C cage for my 2 boys?

Re: Coroplast - Nowhere To Be Found!

just use the cubes and lay down some corrogated cardboard instead. Just break apart some shipping boxes. Then you can put plastic if you dont have a good long lasting supply of cardboard or just leave it if you do. Then add a generous supply of newpaper. Add bedding and you are all set. You can tape the cardboard if you want to, though I'm too lazy to. Also its a good idea to put two layers on top levels. It doesn't look as pretty as coroplast but you can cover it from the outside with decorative stuff.

Re: Coroplast - Nowhere To Be Found!

I just saw another post and it reminded me that you could also use Linoleum instead. Hope this helps!

Re: Coroplast - Nowhere To Be Found!

Hiya

Thank you so much for your help. Bristol is about 2 hours away from where I am, but I'll give them a ring and see what they say.

Thanks again.

Re: Coroplast - Nowhere To Be Found!

Hi Piglet

I'd be really interested in seeing a piccie of your cage please if you have one, just so I can see how it has worked out.

Many thanks.

That's where I got mine from. They charged £7 for (I think) 5 foot by 9 foot (the minimum size they do).
