I made a playpen out of laminate floor pieces and stitched them together with cable ties. The ties were not very strong so I went into my shed and redesigned it.
I found a piece of hardboard which I took off a pine door.
I have shortened the playpen but kept it the same width.
I screwed it together in the corners. No glue on it.

Plenty of room for a hamster to run around in.
