They are pretty hard to come by but are much cheaper on ebay than that site I think (eg. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260484127395&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT)

The plastic that the bottom tray is made from can be bought from a local sign maker. I found this place local to me http://www.sodenplastics.co.uk/Soden_Plastics_Ltd/Soden_Plastics_Ltd_-_Leicester_-_Products_Page_3_-_Internal_Finishes.html that does 8ft x 4ft x 3mm thick for £14.50 - I did find somewhere that did it cheaper but can't remember. If you call around your local area, I'm sure someone will give you a good price :)
 
This is pretty much what Azura said, but nevermind!

I bought my grids from ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/**-METAL-MESH...ce_Supplies_Stationery_ET?hash=item3356aafe29

They're pretty heavy so save on postage by buying what you need from a seller who offers discount on postage for extra items.

As for the corrugated plastic (correx, coroplast), try local sign shops? Or some people get theirs by asking around at estate agents etc. for used sheets which would otherwise get chucked out.
 
I got my grids off ebay too, as for the flooring I use lino. I got a 6ft by 4ft piece for £15 from my local carpet shop.
This was my first incarnation of my C&C

Hi Linda,

How many panels did you need to make that? I assume that the stand and the floor (under the lino) is made of panels too?

Thanks :)p
 
Blimey Azura, I've just used the piccie to count them, as my c&c is no longer like that. :)) I counted 44, I just used the pic to show the lino. This is the latest, the ground level is on the floor now, for ease of cleaning (I can step in it now).

Emmyk89, Try amazon thats where i got mine from to make a run. I`ve just checked and their still there. but i have no idea with the coroplast though!
 
Thanks for your help :) Where do you get the fleece stuff from that you have in the cage?
them
 
Ooooo anywhere! A lot of mine are childrens blankets from Sainsburys (this is one design I have), but people have got their blankets from eBay, Asda, Primark etc. I also have a couple of these which are much bigger and cheap. It all depends on what you have local to you really :)

If you go with fleece, you should wash it with no fabric conditioner. They still stay soft even without it.

Hope you find some you like :)p
 
I agree with Azura, you can get the fleece from a lot of places. Most of my fleeces were £2, I been using them for about 4 months and they are still good.
