Very nice! Is the top hard to reach/clean?

Wow, this is the cage I am planning on building. Except mine probably won't use coro and I am going to hopefully have a 1x4 in each level also. One thing I was wondering is, is the top level hard to clean? I wasn't planning on putting a stand though so mine isn't going to be that high up. This is an awsome cage though!
edit: Oh and I would be using doors where there are 2grid spaces so the piggies don't jump out (since I am probably not useing coro).

Nicely done! Very original.
FBL, what are you going to be using instead of coroplast? Just curious

I'm only 5'4, but I can reach the back of the top level for spot cleaning or catching pigs, but I like to use a step ladder for full cleaning.
FBL, I had to laugh - "I am going to make this cage exactly, only completely different!"  But you NEED coro for this cage, with the second level being two grids above the first level, I don't think linoleum would be sturdy enough.
The coroplast is cut to 14 inches in the back (the same height as the grid) to keep as much hay as possible inside, and 7 inches in the front (which is only slightly shorter than those rainbow playpens). I do have the cage all complete with pigs in it now, and no one has tried to escape.
I also wanted to give credit to cutemomomi from GL (maybe she is a member here too?) because I used her cage as a model for mine.

Do you worry about pigs hopping out of the font? I like the high coro on the sides/back. I wish I did that!.

LOL, as soon as I saw that I thought "it looks like cutemomomi's." Looks great.
