Here is my list of materials for a 3' by 2' by 2' (36" by 24" by 22.5" inside) cage. It is for my BP but all you woul need to do is add a substrate dam.
1- 4' by 8' 3/4 inch plywood cut into-4 pieces that are 3' by 2' and 2 that are 2' by 2'
a)one of the 3' by 2' needs to have a hole/square cut out that measures 32" by 20"
b)one of the 3' by 2' needs to have a hole/square cut out that measures 24" by 12" two inches away from the side
c)one of the 3' by 2' needs to have a hole/square cut out that measures 11" by 11" three inches away from side
1- 1 gal to of water based polyurethane
1- 2 large paint brushes
1- piece linoleum measuring 34 1/2" by 24"
2- piece linoleum measuring 24 by 12"
2- piece linoleum measuring 36" by 12"
2- plastic sliding glass door tracks measuring 36" long
2- pieces of 1/4 inch glass measuring 20" by around 22"
1- Large bottle of Liquid Nails
2- Identical drill bit and a box of matching screws
1- Piece Hardware cloth measuring 13" by 13"
First After getting the wood cut i will Coat them with 3 coats of polyurethane. Then I will place the linoleum on the cage and securing it with a little liquid nails. Then I will place the sliding door track on the top and bottom. Then i will cover the holes (except the larget one) with hardware cloth. Then i will install the front, back, top, and one side. Then i will put the glass in and finally the last side. You will need to add a substrate dam around 2" higher than the substrate level. -----
