Well this cage took me forever, but it is finally on to its destination. This cage is going on display at the Maple Street school in Manchester, Vermont.

Here are the pictures.

This cage is complete with a Helix Supersystem, Wetworks Misting System, 4 Incandescent fixtures (2 for lighting, 2 for heating) 2 double 48" flourescent fixtures, solid oak canopy and base, helix overheat fan and alarm, and oak veneer vents for heat dissipation.

The cage measures around 9' X 2' X 4'

Hope you like. I am glad it is finally done, and will feel even better once it arrives safely.

Shipping it is about $550.00 US and will take about 7 days. I am just happy that it only changes trucks twice, so that makes me breathe a little easier. If it changed trucks like 8 times, I might be more worried.

Amazing work, Greg! :)

What are they going to house in it?

You will never guess, and it will amaze you someone will spare no expense for different things. They are going to be housing plants. Yup plants, thats what I said. It is going in their science wing, and the kids are going to do the layout and it will house either native plants, or plants from some other area.

Will look cool once its done, but I can't believe something that big was going to be used only for plants.

They originally wanted to house native plants in there, but I am not sure if they would survive. I had suggested a tropical enclosure. It is a private school, so no, they aren't growing those types of plants.....lol

You just keep getting better and better with your building talents!
Do you build aquariums ??

Greg West
07-03-04, 11:57 PM
I don't build aquariums that hold tons of water. I have tested my smaller designs, but wouldn't want to have to deal with any leakage problems if they did arise. Liability is a lot bigger issue when you deal with leaking as opposed to a cage cracking etc. If it ever became an actual business I might look into it, but for now, terrariums only, or cages that hold little amounts of water.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone
