Default Tank Lids??

Mr Bojangles, as you have maybe previously read was a bar chewer and i bought so many cages/made some and he was never happy. So i finally bought him a 4 foot tank. Which is perfect for him, except we found him one night sitting on top of the thing. We currently have the plastic sheets that youd have on a fish tank and he managed to climb and squeeze out.

The question is, does anybody have a good tutorial on how to make such a lid? or any tips?

That would be great, thanks guys

Wood and mesh lid like you'd put on a detolf? Would that work? I used Erins Animals' tutorial for basics but really it's just measuring wood, attaching the wood to other wood and stapling or nailing some mesh on it. Mine is about 80x50 or so with 15mm thick timber and it's too heavy for Cc to lift.

I've seen this video before on making a lid for a tank. Lucky Mr Bojangles! Lovely tank. And you've got space for a big wheel in there now lol.
