Just a little info for those of you wanting to use duct tape. Wal-Mart carries duct tape in a variety of colors, so you don't have to make your corners look icky with grey tape on white coroplast.

They have white, red, yellow, green, and purple that I know of. I'm sure there are other colors I'm forgetting. I used this on my coroplast, and it's looks so much nicer than just plain duct tape! I'll try to get some pics up as soon as I can. :)

I think it's about $3 for a roll of the colored tape.

You can also use patterned contact paper to cover the coroplast and tape up. You get a nicely decorated cage inexpensively.

Donna, I would send this private but it is disabled. Where are you in TN? I am near Nashville.

Re:

I'm in northeast Tennessee. About 50 miles in either direction between Knoxville and Johnson City.

I'm thinking of putting wallpaper border around my coroplast some time in the future. I'll probably go with a Care Bears themed cage.

Target also carries colored Duct Tape. My coroplast is white and I bought white tape.

Can't you just use clear packing tape?

Yes you can use clear packing tape, but I think duct tape is a little more sturdy. :)

Ah, I see. I think they have heavy duty clear packing tape too, don't they?

I think any kind of strong tape would work.
