Grids Cheap Grids

Where is the best place to buy cheap grids to make a C&C cage?

I would just be worried about the hole spaces. Make sure the grids are 9x9 squares down and across. Also if you can't find them in store you can try online.

GuineaPigZone.com lists lots of places to get grids:

eBay sell grids just look up storage cubes on eBay and there you go.

So If I were to do a 2 X 3 C&C Cage how big would I need the coroplast to be??

If your going to a sign shop I would wait till you build the frame then measure.

Or go here: (broken link removed)

Or if you go to home depot get the really larger sheet. You'll probably have some coro left over if you go to home depot.

The sign shop I use will cut the coroplast to the measurements you want, most do.

Not sure what sign shops are in your area but I go to "signs by tomorrow". I just told them it was for a guinea pig cage so I didn't pay full price. So if you go to a sign shop make sure to tell them its for your guinea pigs. I know some people on here have gotten free sheets of it by doing that. Because if not they might think your trying to make your own sign or something.

Mine was only 25 but prices vary from state to state. We have a fast signs to but signs by tomorrow was closer.

So If I were to do a 2 X 3 C&C Cage how big would I need the coroplast to be??

39" x 68". Score (for the fold) at 6" all around. After you score and fold up the flaps, the coroplast tray will be 27" x 41".

I had printed out how to make it but I printed the metric one, so it was way off lol

 

[crazycavymom]

I don't know where people find them at Home Depot I went on there website and I didn't see any 27 x 41.

I think on home depot search for corrugated plastic or cardboard. In the store its usually with the plexiglass.
