2 Tier Cages

[Deleted member 114675]

I agree with above posters that it is the amount of space one the one floor that is important. However, loft areas are very good for providing extra hideys or hay racks. I love C&C cages because of the flexibility they provide. This is a fantastic thread ...

I decided to make my loft area 1/2 height so the ramps weren't too steep. My ladders are made from folded grids and I have C&E cosies ramp tunnels

How do you make a loft half height? How do you fix it to walls and support it?

Thank you, I think the pack works out less expensive, you have to buy your own correx, so it's a combo of make your own but get most of what you need in a predecided pack, but there is no hefty postage . I would just like to know it is ok and safe etc, and the same as what others are using.

plenty of cable ties - it's stable enough for a 2x1 loft

plenty of cable ties

Is there a support underneath as well? Is the floor just panels cable tied?

Yes I did read that earlier and they are 99, but a lot of links mentioned on these pages are no longer available

The loft should be stable enough secured with cable ties but you can order these if you want

If your still looking te VonHaus 9 Cube set is £19.99, you get 33 grids. (eBay)
Then protectascreen do correx for £7.something + postage

I quite like the black cubes, more than the White grid ones ! And you haven't got to worry about hole size or them biting the paint off and such.

will continue to contemplate!

Yay! I'm excited! Just bought a pack of 26 grids from grendle, so I can start to build and add correx, loft, ramps, roof, or whatever as I build and see how it's going in relation to the room space!

So here is stage 1.Thank you all for your help. Got a big piece of plywood and added some non slip batons for safety around the edges (and underneath) to sit across my Ikea coffee tables. Loft in the planning....
