Evening all,

Recently joined the forum as we are going to be getting some pigs shortly.

I have got some C&C grids and started putting them together, and will love getting some correx locally.

1st question
The grid connectors sit on the floor, and protrude slightly into the cage space (about 2cm). So I assume people have a gap between the correx and the grid?

Secondly-Ramps
I see some peoples ramps are made purely from correx. I was thinking of using double thickness correx for strength which would probably be fine.
With regards to the folded up edges I see on lots of people's, how do they stay upright?!
I can score and fold it but though it would just flop down again?
My other option is to bend a couple of grids into 'u' shapes and line them with correx and carpet etc.

thanks all!

There was another thread with lots of pictures of different ramps but I can't find it! I think @Veggies Galore might have posted it, apologies if I have tagged the wrong person.

I have had ramps... And posted in threads about ramps.
I have never made ramps from Correx.
Personally, I wouldn't faff making the ramps from correx..... Much easier to use guttering (and a strip of old carpet for grip).

Will see if I can find some pictures.

The ones C&C make have a special reinforcer to stop the sides going down.
 
Thanks for the replies everyone.

Guttering actually looks a good alternative, I may even by able to find an offcut somewhere.

Thanks
