I see you only used one stud on the bottom, with the weight of the substrate do you think that will be enough support it and not have it rot out the plywood and break through? Im just trying to figure out how I wanna do my bottom.
Well Ill just say this, I did an 8x4x3 with the same tutorial (its on the site in the enclosure section), and I used alot of support on the bottom and top so I could put alot in it and on top of it. Now his cage isnt as wide or long so im sure that one support is fine, unless he plans on putting stuff on top. Never hurts to add more than needed just incase. As for the wood rotting away, that is what the KILZ2 primer is for, it seals the wood allowing it to be unaffected by water/humidity and reduces chipping, along with the glossy coat of paint. Wont have to worry about those things. And again Jmiles, awesome job man !
