Hi There, I asked a couple of weeks ago about the b&q c&c cage mesh cube thingys and then somebody said that you can't get them online anymore soi was wondering what will be the easiest way to get some and if anybody has one do you know how to make the ramp.

Thanks Any advice helpful! x
 
I used the mesh grid, just bent it in the middle. It was easily done.

I then covered it with fleece.

When i had my C&C i bought the grids from here (although when i built my C&C they were priced at £14.99 per pack - i can only presume the increase in sales has seen every shop/ebay seller upping their prices):

To make my ramp i stood on one end and pulled the opposite end towards me and bent it in to a you shape. I then covered this with carpet for grip (i bought a cheap carpet runner, was great for grip and very hard-wearing too)
 
I dont have my C&C anymore - but there is no limit on the amount of packs you order - as i recall i ordered 3 packs from them before and only paid 1 postage (you'd have to double check though as i dont know iof things have changed). My particular C&C was a 5 x 4.5 double decker with a 4 x 2 L shaped upper level - so i needed quite a few packs - when i sold my grids i think there was around 55+

There are 16 grids in each pack and they are a combination of the 'normal grid' type and mesh panels (i think you get 6 mesh panels and 10 normal grid panels) :)
 
Can't go wrong at just over £15.00 per pack with the link flintstones provided. If i was going to re-build a C&C i'd deffo go for them - saves you £10.00 per pack, this = more money for piggie treats ;)
 
We have the Wickes grids and they're great. We had to make a hole to fit the water bottle through.
 
How many grids do you need? You could go for 1 pack of each - would still save you £10.00 :)

I personally use glass water bottles and the way these are fixed to the cage i would presume they could be used with the mesh grids with only minimal effort (just a couple of cable ties)

I use glass to but I have never had a problem fitting any bottles to C&C cages.

I mentioned that JanexxM&L should go for the mesh panels in your post (to save a lot of money) and she asked re. water bottles and how she would attach them to the mesh grid - hence my post telling her that only a slight modification would be needed should she want to have an all mesh C&C! (i believe someone sle also offered up a mod that could be done to have water bottles attached to the mesh type grids) There's no problem attaching water bottles to the normal grid type as this is just like attaching them to a normal cage! :)):))

I didn't realise the link I posted was mesh to late at night clearly mallethead.
 
We all do it :)) making a saving of £10.00 per box - i'd be willing to make a small mod rolleyes

3 x boxes of the mesh only grids would cost you £45, compare that to the link i provided and you are saving £30 - more than enough to buy your correx :) You'd have 48 grids to play with - that would make a very nice castle for your piggies ;)

Some others may yet come along with more grid links - no harm in shopping around :)
