Hello,
I know a lot of dutch people have a hard time finding grids. I've been looking for grids on the internet for 3 days; all I could find were cubes in other countries so it would be very expensive to ship them (20 to 60 euro's).
I was amazed that there wasn't an easier option, why wouldn't dutch stores have cubes? So I kept on searching and searching.. and then I found them!
I found the cubes on the website of "Leen Bakker". You can order them on the website, but you can also just go to the store and buy them, because delivery is very expensive.
Here's the link: Wandmeubel Grill
They are black 9x9 grids, a box of 15 grids costs €29.99 and a box of 27 grids costs €49.99.
My first concern was to get the grids, so I didn't look for coroplast yet. But since I had the grids now I didn't want to wait to make the cage, so I started looking for coroplast.
I searched the internet for coroplast first, which wasn't unsuccesful, I found 2 dutch websites where you can order coroplast.
Kunststofshop.nl
Click "kunststof kanaalplaat" and you'll see the coroplast. (If you want to order here, mind the thickness of the coroplast. A thickness of 3mm or 4mm is best.
There are a few people who offer coroplast on "Marktplaats.nl", I'm sure you dutch people know how marktplaats works. If you want me to give you a link for the pages on marktplaats where they sell coroplast, just ask.
You will find coroplast in holland under the name of "polypropyleen kanaalplaten" or simply "kunststof kanaalplaten".
I didn't want to order my coroplast, because delivery is expensive and because I didn't want to wait. So I started looking for it in stores, I went to "Gamma" and "Karwei" the only coroplast-like stuff they had there was too thick (6mm), I considered buying it but I wanted to look in other stores first. So then I went to "Praxis", and there I found 4mm thick coroplast! It's better than the 6mm ones, because they're more flexible. The only downsides are that they only had 1 color (transparent) and the sizes were small, so I had to buy 3 seperate ones for my 2x3 cage. One piece of the coroplast costs around 8 euro's.
My search was well worth it! I have my very own C&C cage now and my cavy loves it too! I'm still in the process of decorating and finishing the cage, so it's not completely done yet. I hope this information helps some people and that they can find the cubes and coroplast.
This information might also be helpful for people from Belgium and Germany
PS: I made a new thread, because all the previous threads about finding cubes and coroplast in the Netherlands were rather old.
