Hi im looking to get add a another level on my c&c cage. this sign shop near me is selling single sheets of 2.4m x 1.2m coroplast for $59 but it is so expensive. I can buy 650mx1m sheets for around $3 each. I use these use small sheets for the bottom

Can i use selotaped coroplast for my second level, can it break?

For my loft, I was about half an inch over in measurements so I decided to just cut a strip right through the middle. I then used hot glue to reconnect the pieces and used some sturdy packing tape over the glue as I'm sure nibbling on hot glue wouldn't be good for the piggies.

I would use the small sheets, It's insane to ask $59 for a sheet of coro!



Do you have a GE polymershapes around you? You can get coro for $10 for a 4' x 8' sheet.

Depending on how big your making the loft, this might work. Very cheap.
(broken link removed)

They have all different sizes, and they're very cheap. The 36" by 24" is enough to make a 1X2 with 5 inch sides I think.

You can also call sign shops and mention that you're building a cage for a small animal. They wouldn't even talk to me until I mentioned why I was calling, but after that, they thought it was kind of cute!

I got a 4'x6' piece for $20, plus the guy threw in a bunch of scraps on the side which I used to make my litter pan.
