Coroplast Two smaller pieces

Masking tape is safe and it works well.

Really? That simple? Thank you so much!

I don't recomend masking tape, to easy to break. I had something similar(I accidentally cut my coro in half) and I used duct tape.

What's the difference between duct and masking tape?

I agree with using the duct tape. I never found out if it is safe, so I only used it on the outsides where the piggers can' t get to it.

This is masking tape

This is duct tape, it is much stronger.

Thanks you! Now I see the difference.

I pieced together my coroplast when I redesigned my cage and I used duct tape. I put it around the joint 360 degrees. I had towels and fleece at the time and it was fine. I don't have sides to my coroplast, so exposed tape wasn't an issue. I agree with only putting it on the outside of the coroplast where your piggies can get to the coroplast.

We had to duct tape a 2x3 piece and a 2x5 piece together for our new cage. We put the duct tape on the bottom and top because the piggies could never get to it. We have two layers of towels and then fleece as bedding, and we have never had a pig make it under the first layer of towels. However, if your pigs are intense burrowers, I'd be weary.
