Upper Levels I need support bars, A lot of support bars

GreyWish · Nov 19, 2013

I just added coro to my upper level cages a few weeks ago and they are starting to droop... i dont want the whole thing collapsing into itself
cause i just fixed everything that was wrong with it and that took hours and hours of work and zip ties and i dont want it hurting my pigs while im out to the store or something...
I almost bought GPCS's support rods but those are sooo expensive .-.
so ....input please, What do the people with multi level cages use as support?

Get some 1x1's at Home Depot or Lowe's.

I think 2x2s work better. They're not actually 2x2, but 1.5x1.5. They'll support the top just fine, and will fit through the grid holes on the bottom layer to keep the top stable.

I'm sorry 2x2 is what I was thinking.

you can also do dowels or broom stick handles if you have something along those lines. Might even be able to find brooms to re-purpose at the dollar store. You can screw in a little wooden stopper or add a screw on the ends to stop them from falling into the cage.
