ok, so maybe this should be a sticky thread for our UK member's finding it hard like me to find and build there c&c cages.
i bought my c&c cubes from grendle enterprises. cost me £41 and i built my 2x4 cage out of it and i have still got 6 cubes left over to build onto if i have too.
now this was my hardest part of building my cage, i have searched and searched for correx in the uk, i could find it online easy enough, but after paying for carraige and for it to be cut to size for me it was costing a small fortune, sometimes this may be a little out of budget for some people like it was for me. So i rang about my local sign maker shop's, as suggested by one of the topics on here, did i get any luck? the answer is NO!! i rang b&q, wickes and all the big named builder's merchants that i knew, because they should do it as they use it for floor protection in building? but NOPE, made my matter's even harder!!
I then rang my packaging company that we use for work to get out tape from, as i am very friendly with the owner i asked her if she had any correx, with a reply i was hoping for was YES we do it its 2mm and its 8x4, absolute perfect for my c&c infact the size that i wanted!! now for the price, i thought it was going to be expensive, but if it was 15£ i would of paid it and picked it up as its across the road from work.
Price for a 8x4 black sheet of correx is £3.50 inc VAT, absolute bargain in my opinion. so happy that i can now finish my cage off and i thought i would share this with you all, as ino how hard it is to source this stuff from the uk!!
