Shelving for storing cages

[head2head]

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for storing three gabbers, preferably on top of one another, on shelving? I'm getting another addition at the weekend and Paul and I have been thinking about how best to store them. Only problem is, we are keen to have something that looks nice rather than just metal shelving (as the hams live in the spare room).

Anyone have any ideas or pics/suggestions? I'm having a hard time finding something deep enough that isn't designed for heavy duty storage .

I guess I'm just being picky....

I made shevling that can fit 3 gabbers on (well 4 is you want to put it on top). I used mdf and pine, mdf looks good painted. it came to £30 and is very stable and has a few cm extra on to keep food bags and stuff.

I've got these:


The are from Argos and are cheap but pretty good - it's difficult to access the gabbers with all the shelves in - my plan is to modify the shelf spacing so I can keep four gabbers on it, including one on the top, which will make it a lot easier.

Here's the link:

Depending on the colour of your room you might like these (my hamstery room is blue so I love them!):


They are from Bigdug and the shelves are adjustable:

I use Ikea Traby units - they're made of oak and are modular so you can make them into all different sizes, add doors, glass shelves, legs, wheels etc

Oh Holly! I was planning on getting those shelves!! And with my (soon to be) 2 red and 2 green gabbers - it's going to rather similar .

Can the canvas come off though? I think I'd prefer just the plain unit.

I think the canvas can come off those - looking at teh link holly provided I think they're removable. Why didn't I think of those before? They would be perfect!

Yes it comes off and is totally separate - I used it over the winter to keep the draughts out a bit!

or you could go for a home made job like this

Oooh I like those - you got a link to them?

Searching Traby on the Ikea site brings them up, although I can't seem to find the units that ELC has - are they made up of several of the shelving modules or something?
