Cage expanding to a 3x4 help with girds and coroplast

piggles0117 · Aug 12, 2013

Okay, so I am expanding the cage from a 2x3 to a 3x4 and I was wondering how much coroplast I would need for that, I was planning on still keeping the coroplast from the old cage and taping it with the new (does that make sense??) so how much more coroplast would I need for that? I originally had a 4x8 sheet and cut out enough for the 2x3. And how many more grids would I need? AND, how many grids would I need for a stand? Sorry there is sooo many questions, I am absolutely HORRIBLE at math

It will be better to just go buy a 4x8 sheet that way you have a nice base that isn't all taped up. You could do the walls 3.5" tall.

When I did my 3x4 of a stand I used 2 boxes of grids, but it's all depending on how you do your stand. I like having the extra storage on the bottom so I had to use more girds to have the cage itself supported.

As you can see, I used 2 pieces of coro for this cage base. Not the nicest looking but it did the job at the time.
