I used the plans i found on treemonitors.com, @ http://treemonitors.com/quickandeasy.htm. This cage uses only a little plywood for the bottom. however I had some left over for the front and back. I used an old window for the door and I made a sort of "sandwitch" with tile board on the outside and something called FRP(Fiber-reinforced plastic) its alot like the inside of a shower. you can find it at lows. using the two thin materials held together with silacon makes walls plenty strong and you can save some money by not worying about the plywood. it works great dealing with the high humidity that timors need. there is no frame work with it and it only took 2 days to build. It cost about 200 dollars to build but I think it will last alot longer than any sealed wood, and is less toxic if the walls would ever chip. Also the web site has a great idea that I have found works great. I used some caulk to glue some sheets of burlap to the walls for some more places for him to clumb.timors claws arnt sharp enough to tear it so it has lasted 6 months and doesnt look like it needs replacing at all. I highly recomend this cage and if you have any questions please dont hesitate to ask. | ||
