Play area construction!

[taxidermynerd]

I had a neat little idea in my brain, and I came up with a sketch (although it's not that quality, the thought is there!).

The base (blue lines) will be made out of wire storage cube panels (which are safe, they are powder coated and frequently used for C&C cages for guinea pigs). Then I'll attach enough panels to make a 1x1 cube, where Jade can sit to play with a toy or just relax, as well as 1 next to the cube to make a spot to hang swings etc (pink lines).

Then I will add a perch or two (green lines) and a couple of swings (yellow lines), and hang a boing (brown line) from the hanger bolt above Jade's cage.

The whole thing will be held up by heavy-duty 3m hooks, and held together with zipties (I'm not a huge fan of the connectors it comes with).

Thoughts? I'll share pics as I make it!

Looks fun!

I have a similar thingie someone gave me this week (along with their bird). I can post pics tomorrow if you like. It’s pretty clever really.

Ooh I can't wait to see pics!

It looks complicated to build (at least for me). I really like how long the boing you're going to install is.

Looks like a great idea! Wil you keep us updated? I love seeing projects like this. I bet Jade will love it if you build it.

I´m also very interested to see what you come up with!

Your idea reminds me a of @DoubleTake s cool play area for his birds.

I had the same thought! I remember seeing something similar in one of his photos. Can't wait to see it finished!

Wow! That will be amazing!

Here's the play area, as of now! I made a couple of changes to the design, as you can see. Jade is a big fan of the seagrass swing!




And here's a video!

Wow! Well done! Looks like Jade loves it

 

[TikiMyn]

That is so awesome! I love it! Seems like Jade does too I am definitely gonna steal that idea for in my new place

Jade is such a cutie Nice job on her play area, she's loving it

 

[elitys]

So cute! I have a spot above my dresser that im scoping out for a play area... might take some inspiration from yours.

 

[Mockinbirdiva]

I love it! Especially with it hanging from the ceiling.... fab job!!!!

 

[JLcribber]

That's a fabulous little play area.

I also use those white coated grates to attach all kinds of things.

Neat idea for a play area! And that video had the best ending, but I think it ended too soon. I could've watched her get scritches all day.
