Corn enclosure

[Auddi01]

i am planning on making an enclosure for my corns, i want the dimensions to be length-2ft width-1ft height-1.5ft
I have a lot of OSB board that i got left over from a project
would this be good to use for the corns?
What should i use to waterproof the enclosure?
Would plexi glass or regular glass be better to use for the door?
i want the door to be a sliding door
should i use heat tape for this cage?where would i put it?
If anyone has pictures please post them
and thanks in advance for your help

I'm not sure what OSB is, so i'm not sure if it's a good material to use.

For waterproofing you probably want to use marine paint unless the OSB is sealed like melamine, for sealing the joints I would use aquarium sealent.

Glass is nice because it's harder to scratch and easier to clean, how ever plexi is not as brittle and doesn't chip as easy.

you can use tracks to make a sliding door, figure out the thickness of your glass first.

You can use heat tape or heat rope, or you can buy a regular UTH so that you don't have to do any wiring, just peel, stick and plug it in. for your size of cage a UTH will be fine (basicly prewired heat tape, less risk of electricuting yourself). Which ever method you use of these three, put them under one end of the cage (you want about 1/3rd coverage.

No pics yet, aquariums in those dimensions are cheaper then building.
