I have my 2x4 cage on a table top under an attic roof (that slopes). So when I built in a 1x2 loft, I had to attach it at 7" rather than on top of the 14" grids. I'd put a picture if I could work out how to do it.
So because the loft is attached 1/2 way up the grids, I had to use metal ties (like sandwich bag ties, but stronger), rather than the connections that came with the grids. When my piggies were young, they hopped up no problem, but they are 4 months old now and getting more heavy, so when they hop up now, the loft shakes. (it won't fall, don't worry, it just shakes)
The problem is I have support for the grids on all sides except the side they jump up. I wanted to prop it up from underneath with some wood, but haven't found any the right size yet.
So, how have people secured their lofts (especially if they are not 1 grid high, but 1/2 grid)?
Thanks.
