Hi there,
I'm making a double cage similar to this one from Hammy Time:
The main differences are the following:
- Both cages will be 120cm x 60cm x 60cm
- The full piece will be 160cm in height instead of 140cm
- Both cages will have cut to size 3mm glass of 120cm x 60cm x 60cm
- There will be no side holes, wallpaper or lights like on Hammy Time's cage
The reason I'm posting here is because I'm unsure whether my choice of wood thickness was the right one...
Instead of buying the wood from IKEA, I decided to buy from Selco since it would be a lot more cost efficient and I could ask them to cut all the pieces of wood for me (I don't have a saw). I ended up buying 12mm Poplar Plywood since there wasn't any thicker.
After buying and having it all cut, my boyfriend's father called him saying that the bottom of our top cage could start to sag...
Do you think it will sag? What can we do to make sure the double cage will stand strong?
