I've had a bit of look over the web pages for Big W, Target, Kmart, Bunnings & Howard's Storage World without luck. They might just not list them online. I got mine from Aldi. I would suggest checking out anywhere that has storage supplies, included places I've checked. Possibly discount stores may have them, for example Reject Shop. I'll have a little look while I'm out tomorrow though and let you know if I find any

Big W, Target and Kmart don't stock grids at all. (Big W did, I bought some 5 years ago in a Big W store but have not seen any since in any Big W I've been in). Bunnings sell them in the storage aisle. You can find them in some 'Store' Stores and also on Ebay. Though you have to be careful since they do sell the unsafe grids as well as the safe grids.

I also do not use Corflute (as it's known in Australia) for my C+C...it's too expensive. A sheet big enough to do my 2x5 cage would have cost me $40!. I bought a 2m wide piece of Lino from Bunnings and it cost me $20 and I had spare to put up around the hay area. You score and fold it just like you would with the Corflute and it's easier to transport.

I'd still price coroflute. For $20 I was able to get more than enough for a 2x6!

In NZ I got my corflute as seconds off a printer who specialized in big posters and real estate signs. All I did was peel the sticky print off it. Maybe your printers do something similar if you ask for their throw away bits?

Aertyn what do you have under your lino? Do you think Lino will last longer than corflute?

When I looked in Bunnings they only had small sheets, nowhere big enough. I called a couple of sign places too, one had misprints on corflute that they were happy to give me, the other wanted to sell me a sheet for $100. Let them know what you want it for.

Try carpet shops for lino leftovers too, my local one has a couple of dozen rolls of odd sizes, at least a few are the right size for the cage with some trimming, and about $20~.

I get mine from a plastics supplier. They make all things plastic, acrylic, signs, etc, and sell the raw materials too. This is their web address: Fairlite Plastics Homepage
