How do you make your coroplast in an L shape? Do you tape two pieces of coroplast? Also, can I just do that anyways to save some for a hay box .. etc?

I just made one, actually, mine is one huge piece made out Of a 4foot by 6foot piece or coroplast. A 4x8 foot piece would have been better though.

But how did you actually make one whole rectangle piece into an L? Are you able to show a picture?

@CSCAVYS, sadly I didn't take a picture. However,if you are willing to wait until tomorrow, I can post a picture then, when I do a full cage cleaning.

When I made my L shaped cage I bought 2 separate pieces or coroplast, cut and scored them so they had 3 6 inch sides each and then taped the ends (without the walls) together. It was fairly stable and nothing fell down the little gap between each piece. I would try and use zip ties to tie them together more tightly.
