All of my cages are put together with just zip ties. It's fine. Many people prefer zip ties because connectors are hard to put in and they fall off pretty easily.

Cavylover- When the grids are put together into a shelf, yes they hold 50lbs, but not when they are put together into a cage.

I've used just zip ties to build a travel gate. I haven't tried to put anything on it like a second level, but it stands up amazingly well with the ties....they're great!

Surprisingly, the cable ties are really strong. The connectors are such a pain and so difficult to use. It should be fine if you just use the ties on their own.
