Does anyone know if I can use plastic grids instead of the grid ones??(No lid by the way) Like these- INTERLOCKING SHOE ORGANIZER SHOE STORAGE RACK for 16: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

And is 2 x Coloured Correx 1220 x 813mm (yellow) reasonably priced at £17.50 inc. P+P??

Oh, and if you put a second floor in how is it supported??
And... Lol... Has anyone just covered the cage top with a sheet of mesh, so you can take it off really easily?
Thanks!! :D

The plastic won't let the air ventilate, so it is as bad as an aquarium I would say. If you don't like the grids with 9 holes, try mesh grids.

When you say second floor, it depends how you build it and how big it is, some need something underneath to sustain it (the big ones), some will stay without problems in the connectors (smaller ones). The photo galleries might help you.

About supporting a second floor:
If you look at one of the flashing pictures on the home page, it looks as though the second layer is supported by pieces of wood that slide through the grid holes underneath the second floor.

I don't know about the fact that they are plastic. I would be care ful with them though. Piggers can chew through plastic way easier than metal obviously. If these are the only options you have, get them. But if you can get traditional grids, go with those.
