C&C Can I change this floor time enclosure into a cage?

I will attach an image of the enclosure.
I have a floor time enclosure that is built similarly to a C&C grid. It is 3x3.
I was wondering, if I bought a chloroplast bottom to fit it, could it work as a cage? I already know my pigs don’t need the pen for floor time.

I don't see why not if you just need to cut coroplast to fit it.

How high are the sides on this enclosure? I had a pig that would easily go over the top of a standard 14” grid, so a cover might be a good idea.

I have a homemade grid cage, and I made the base out of wood. I cover the wood with the fabric from a waterproof mattress cover, then use washable incontinence pads and a sheet of fleece over the top. The grids sit inside the wood frame so they can’t burrow under the fleece.

It’s the standard foot high, and they have never shown any inclination to jump over the top. I might try your wood setup! It looks wonderful.

Although I never tried this myself, I always thought a floor could also be made with a remnant of vinyl sheet flooring. The sheet would need to be cut about 4 or 5 inches larger all the way around. The corners could be mitered by making a diagonal cut, then overlapping the corners and securing them so the result would look like a tray or overturned box top. The grid cage could sit inside on top of a layer of fleece and absorbent material.

Sheet vinyl would be inexpensive and easier to work with than coroplast. Just a thought.
