Ideas to protect a wall that’ll be next to a cage.

[Kaymarq]

So I’m putting a cage against two walls, since the wood price is higher this year I wanted to see if I could cut expenses and use something instead of wood to go against the walls so their poop, pee, etc. doesn’t get against it. (Like how the diy cage put wood where the cage will touch the walls.)

I know how there’s inexpensive adhesive kitchen backsplashes so I was thinking something similar to that? But I know many are foam and I can’t find a cheap one that’s not. So does anyone have any ideas for that?

Could you use correx plastic? The same as you would put in the bottom of a C&C cage.

How about a bit of perspex? or a few tiles?

end of roll lino off cuts tend to sell pretty cheaply.

I would say perspex or tiles or an off cut of lino..

I cover the roof back and sides of my cages with a blanket . A cheap solution. No DIY required and easy to keep clean

You can try to use a large towel.

I have some large sheets of perspex against the long wall and old towels pegged around the other edge of the cage

I use coroplast sheets to help protect my walls as they are easy to cut up to the size you need! (Plus I'm not the most handy person haha ) I got them from here: 2 pack correx sheet

Cardboard? My dad has a nice log cottage and is paranoid about the pigs staining the wood behind them when they're at the lake... we just have a cut-in-half cardboard box that the cage fits into.
