Coroplast question

[LydiaMinx]

My 2X5 C&C is being delivered tomorrow and I received the stand this morning, put it together ready and it is a LOT bigger then it says on the website measurement wise! The coroplast has been pre-scored and lined for me so I can easily put it together, however I am now thinking I may not have the space for a 2X5 and may have to make a 2X4 instead.

The issue with this is that coroplast being ready prepared. Is there any way I could snip bits off to downsize or would I have to get new coroplast entirely?

Thank you guys! This C&C business is more confusing then I thought!

if the width is the same all you would have to do is shorten it and rescore.Would it fit if you used cable ties and not connectors to make frame and make it fit

Do you know how much I would have to shorten it by? I'm nervous I'm going to butcher it and totally ruin it for use!

Most grids are 35cm wide so that's how much you'd have to cut off it. I'd recommend waiting until it all arrives and trying to set up the grids to confirm what size you want it, you could always use cable ties to overlap the last grid to give the cage a little extra length.

Good luck with it all

never thought of overlapping (duh) that way it could be made to fit space. What hay racks are you using in them

I'm sorry for sounding stupid guys but what do you mean by overlapping? And I just use the standard plastic hay racks
