What size tubs are they. ANd where did you get them. I have ideas for other cages that those would work for. Thanks

Todd,

If you go to his gallery it says they are those coolers you see in stores that have beer etc. in them. He says it's 4x2x3 but it's not clear to me if that the size of the cooler or the size of the entire cage.

Hopefull he'll come back and clarify all of this.

Bigtank,

Cage looks great. You should post the picture in your galler that shows the entire cage, so we can sort of see what's going on.

Rick,

Thank you for the picture. Where did you get that cooler exactly and what did you pay for it? I assume it was something that was going to get tossed away?

I can't seem to find anything like that on google.

hi Chris..

In fact I live in Mexico, and it took me some days tring to find out who made this coolers... most stores wont sell them because they are really usefull, when they dont need it in the store anymor the take it home or to the farms.. a lot of people use them for horse feeding...

this coolres are about $130.00 news, but I bougt this one for $70.00, it was old stock...

will post some extra pics latter when it all finished...

BTW. I also use fibberglasspools to make cages... also works great... this one is for my baby crocs...

best wishes

Rick

Hi Rick,

Could you get me an exact brand? A product number would be nice as well. I could use several of those for some caging products and would not mind spending $130.

Is the inside depth actually 24" or is that the height with casters and the thickness of the base?
