Hi Guys,

Another quick question on building my cage. What thickness of coroplast is needed? I can get 2mm and 4mm quite cheap.. I also wondered if you could stick it together, i.e. 3 x 2mm think sheets = 6mm wall??

Also, If I am having no grids, just using coro as the walls, what height should they be to stop piggies jumping out?

Thanks,
Leanne

4mm coro would be fine, I have 5mm and I don't think it really needs to be that thick. I'm not really sure how you'd get it to stick together in layers but you shouldn't need to anyway.

There's no need to stick coro together to make a thicker wall. As long as it's sturdy enough to not bend on its own, one layer should be fine.
