Here is a pic of one of our set-ups. These are about 7'x 2 1/2'x 18". We use melamine instead of plywood. The top two are gray melamine and the bottom two are maple melamine. If you have a store in your area that sells hardwood, they probably will sell different colors and wood grains of melamine. Home depot only sells white. Melamine doesn't soak up moisture and is easy to clean. We also caulk the inside so it doesn't leak. We use a router to recess an area about 3/8" on the outside of the bottom of the cage and use 4 11"x12" flexwatt stapled to the bottom so the heat doesn't have to go through the whole 3/4" melamine. We also staple reflectix (it's bubble wrap with aluminum foil on either side)to the bottom to make sure the heat goes up into the cage and not down into the cage below.
Hope this helps.
