The best and cheepest would be melamine. You could also use sealed plywood.

sealed ply is the best to use..

Why 2.5' high? Mine is 2' high and wish it was shorter. It's tough to get the uvb tube low enough to be effective.

so whats a good height for a beardie's cage then? cause i am building one, i was gonna make it 2 feet high, but i just realized what you said about the lighting..

if it is taller, you can make a shelf with ramps, to increase surface space, give them more room. this is how my females had it.
