What do they actually call them in travis perkins?
Sending hubbie in tomorrow for some and if i dont tell him exact he will come home with wrong stuff or say they havent got any lol
 
I got mine recently in Costco (you need to be a member) they cost £10 (ish) for 4 cubes.
 
I bought some cubes yesterday - first I tried at B&Q to be told they no longer sell these but found some at my Wickes store - they had quite a lot in.

Hope this helps people :)

can you give a reference number or product name please, so i can get ours to order them in? how much were they?
 
I saw some in our local B&Q (Gillingham, Kent) on Sunday but they are now £30 :{ (They were less than £20 last year) There are enough for 6 cubes and it's still a bit pricey, but still cheaper than the mahoosive cages which are upwards of £100 I suppose.

Which section in b and q were they in? storage or bathroom? our b and q is so big i could easily miss them if i didn't look in the right place
B
 
I looked everywhere in my B&Q and couldn't see any so I asked and they said they didn't sell them :(

Anyway from Wickes they are called Storage Cube Item No 8-0034-57

You get 4 cubes (17 grids) and the interlocky things for £27.

Hope this helps :)
 
They were in storage - they had some nice designed boxes (look like designer storage boxes, painted ones etc) close by, but we have a mahooooosive B&Q here so it may be some kind of superstore. Try the shelving section as well :)

Yeah the storage section was where I looked - they had the pretty boxes and metal adjustable shelving but specialised ones (with curved adges etc) for computer shelves and kitchen storage - none of the grid ones :(

Perhaps they've stopped selling them but some stores still have stock so worth a shot at your local B&Q, mine must have sold out!

Are they listed on the website? I cant find them. Just been to my local Wickes as well and didnt see them.
 
Just wondering, does anybody know of any UK suppliers of C&C grids that actually come in white instead of grey/black?

Probably like asking for a lottery win but just wondering.
I have seen that the US sells them but id really like to find some here if anyone knows anything.

Havent seen any on ebay just yet. cheers x
 
Just to let you know I just bought some grids from B&Q in bamberbridge nr preston for anyone up this was they are 6 cube ones for 29.95
 
Connectors

ClaireL said:
Great thread....I got mine from B&Q ...I got two packs to make two cages one is a two level - I have plenty of grids left but used all the connectors - wish they sold them seperately!
Correx is around £15 a sheet...but be warned getting it home - the sheets come in 8x5 feet - I couldnt get it into my oh's car which is an estate - he ended up carrying it home rolleyes ...you may want to decide what size you are doing your cage first and ask the sign people to cut it down for you before you take it home.

As an alternative to buying more connectors so that you can use your remaining grids have you tried using cable ties instead (they suggest it here as an alternative http://www.guineapigcages.com/cubes.htmhttp://www.guineapigcages.com/cubes.htm). My brother is an electrician and has hundreds of them so I will be using them when I make my C&C cage shortly.
 
B&Q

Just to let anyone local know that B&Q in Norwich have the grids in their clearance section (1st main isle). They are the 6 cube version (23 panels) in metal steel effect with black connectors. They were £29.98 and they had at least 4 boxes left.
 
my local costsco (milton keynes) had either 4 mesh cubes for 10pounds or 16 cubes for 25pounds

gutted, as I recently bought 6 cubes for nearly 30pounds from ebay ! never mind !
 
My local costco had them too, but when i went back they had none left :(

Got some in b&q (Glasgow), 6 cubes from 29.95. Not listed online, but they had them in store in storage section
 
I had a look at Homebase but didn't find anything... I'm not sure what to look for nor where...
Where do you find the corex for the base?
