Is it as hard for you to find the Cubes in Australia as it is for us here in NZ? If not would anyone be interested in grabbing some for us and posting them over to us???
It would be greatly Appreciated ❤️

They aren't too bad to find. Most Bunnings stores have them. However, the issue is they are very expensive. 5 panels for $14. And they are heavy so postage would cost an arm and a leg. FYI a 20kg parcel would cost $107. It'd cost, easily $200 to make a simple C+C cage.

Do you have closet shelving? I've also seen cages made out of wood, but covered with lino to stop it rotting? Remember, C+Cs's don't *have* to be made from grids. It's simply the idea of affordable, large cages. I've also (this would be a little pricier) seen cages made entirely of metal. You cut and weld it to the size/shape you want, however it's fairly permanent and very heavy and you need to know how to use a welder.

I had to get mine from Amazon. When I called Bunnings (the hardware store - my Kiwi boyfriend says you might not have Bunnings over there :p) they shunted me through four different departments before finally admitting they had no clue what I was talking about. The department stores over here do have cube storage, sort of, but it's not the right kind.

(broken link removed)

This was the only one I found that ships outside the US, although that may have changed in the month since I last checked. If anyone in Aus does know where to get them locally, I'm all ears!
