I would like to build a cage or two over my spring break, and apparently have nothing better to do at school than plan enclosures and other snakey-things. The way I'm planning, the cages will be front opening, and between 3x1.5x1.5 and 3x2x2, and I'd also like them to be able to stack without the use of a shelving system. I'm planning on using some nice plywood (not OSB) and probably a marine epoxy or something similar to seal it. Though I have little experience building anything, I have a brother who is a master of everything power-tools, and with his help I should be able to manage
So my question(s): Do they need to have some kind of internal framing, perhaps made of 2x2s? Or is it sufficient to just screw the sheets of plywood together?
Any other suggestions are welcome, too!
