The playgym is tongue and groove pieces. I'm not sure I would want to do that again. My cages are solid sheet laminate 4x8 I think. The solid sheets have a groove that is not waterproof so we lay newspaper over the top, we knew we wanted to anyway for easier cleaning.
Sarah .. question for you ... the laminate flooring that you used, did you purchase that as a solid sheet, or .. is it pieces <strips> that you attached to a wood base?
No, they are not fence posts. They are willow logs with the bark removed. We were going to cut some corners and use fence posts but AA's love for the previous gym made us double think that. The branches are wild grapevine I have growing out at work but the last gym was dragonwood.Stupid question. But are those just fence posts?
Also what branches do you use for your perches?
Aww, Thanks Heidrun! I love that everyone loves it so much.... we try. We did not use the countertop laminate because hubby says it is very difficult to cut as you need a certain type of saw and he said it is VERY sharp.... we are not "builders" by trade so I really don't know but I trusted him. We were going to use FRP which is what I think you are thinking of but again, looks wise, I wanted a wood look.The laminate flooring gives more size options than countertop laminate, I'm thinking?
Another option for the table top surface that I just thought of is the stuff that they use to panel the walls of some commercial restrooms - it's similar to the material used in shower surrounds. I have to look into how easy it is to drill through and cut without cracking it. It would be super easy to clean, though.
I was going to create a large playground for Ziggy close to floor level (because of falling concerns) I just have to put tumbling mats around the edges, in case he falls off the table.
Done???? We just started.... You have not seen anything yet. We do have to paint the walls and trim, fix plexi on the windows... but this is only the floor level Ariel airel residences still need to be installed. That and I can't put in the front perches until I see where the nets hang.... No Texas for me..So now that your done with yours can y'all come down to Texas and help me with mine!
