I am starting to plan out the cabin. It's going to be a 12x8 foot insulated cabin for the piggies. It is too small for the cage in its current set up as a 16x2 C&C cage (storage underneath). It isn't built yet so I have time plan

We might have to cut down the size of the cage but include a second level.

If it's bigger than 2 grids width it has to go on the floor, eg 8x4 grids, so I can step in to it to clean.there will be no underneath storage.

If it's only something by 2 grids it will be on a table regardless of the second floor so there will still be storage underneath.

I have 8 piggies and I want them to have the maximum amount of space whilst I want it easy to clean

I have some pics from the internet that I like that I have found.

Does anyone have pics of home made and c&c cages? I'm going through the threads with these.
 
They are great, Although with the top one I think mine would bicker, as they were passing each other. So you would probably have to make it a bit wider.
 
I love the bottom one but preferably with a tiered ramp to access both levels.
 
I would probably go for a U shaped raised C&C though I haven’t done the maths for how long and wide each length of the U would be, but would probably have the bottom of the U as the long end of the cabin.
Can have under-storage and easy access to clean the cage as you stand in the gap. Hope that makes sense without a picture! I’d love to do that with mine ( a U shape) but I don’t have the space so I have an L

*edit - what I wanted to type was a capital letter u. Not the word you!

If you have the space for it a U shape would be brill, lots of storage underneath and the piggies have a brill space that you can reach easily.

Here is mine when it was U shaped.

For a UShape cage, you could make 2x10 for the back wall, and connect to 2x4 cages for the other two sides. Combined space would be 2x18
Or three 2x6 connect together.
If I have space, I would make something like this:

Wow, that’s enormous! Love that there’s a sofa in there!

Wonderful. I want to do something like this when I have fewer hamsters in the guinea pig room.,
