So I've decided my bed cage isn't very practical and would like to destroy it :twisted: lol

Heres the plan.

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=27c0ea264e020578dc5e34f1d35986b">http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/ ... 4f1d35986b</a><!-- m -->

If you have sketup then download the model because you will be able to look at in 3D, if you want you can download sketchup as well. Its free and fun to use :)

The cages will be 8'x4'x2' (LxWxH) I have a full description inside the link under the picture. If you really don't feel like going to the link here is the description.

" 2 tegu cages stacked on top of eachother side by side; the right side being the frame and the left being what it will look like. The frame will be made of 2"x4"s and the plywood will be 1/2" on the inside and a 1/4" skin on the outside just for looks. I might also add trim around it for looks as well :) "

So you think it will hold up? I think it should be fine without needing more support, although I might add one support in the middle at the back just so the plywood has a brace.

All thoughts/comments welcome!

Also I might be able to get a friend to make me a metal stand in which I can place a cage "inside" and one on top of the stand. That way I can make the cages from only 3/4" plywood because there won't be any weight on the bottom cage.

Here is a link to what the stand will look like.

Here is another link with the stand having the cages on top and inside.
