Ok for all of you who are mutli-level architects out there, I could use your help. I have recently built a 3 level 2x5 cage for the pigs. The bottom two levels open up in the front for cleaning and the top level stays closed with access being directly from the top.
My question is how or what is the best way to secure the bottom floor of the third and second levels so they do not sag downwards. I see in the photo gallaries that some people use Plastic Pipe for support poles and others don't use anything.
Question 1:
If you use the poles for support and use fleece as bedding how do you work around these poles. Do you have to remove them for cleaning/replacing the fleece?
Question 2:
For those of you who do not use supports how does it stay so rigid. My cubes are all held together by cable ties, which I thought would make it stronger and more stable. But I guess I was wrong.
I do not have this palace on a stand, would that help make a difference?
Thank you for your help.
