When I bought my bits 5 years ago they had them everywhere I got mine from b&Q but can't find them anywhere! I need some more to extend as I used quite a lot up by bending and snapping them when trying to make ramps :mal:

I'd rather pick up from shop as its easier than waiting in all day for them to no turn up by courier lol
 
I got a few connectors from ebay. I got my C&C from ebay, and the store that I got it from also sells connectors and extra grids should you want to extend. I imagine being small they should be able to post rather than you having to wait in for them.
 
Hmm I was just going to buy a box of them on a whim but maybe I shoild count what I have and go from there. I used to use the grids as a playprn so I should have quite a few left. I have some plastic ones for blocking off the corners for floor time but think they may be smaller and doubt they are very strong
 
The store I got mine from works out at about £5ish for 4 connectors and about £3 per metal grid. Depending on how many you need you might actually be better off getting a box of them.

l Think ill do some designs and see i only have a 2x3 with hay loft so needs at l least to be 2x5 for three so just thought is that only 4 grids? I might make it bigger though as room for at least .2×6/7 and possibly add more on again if I make an L
 
Yes that's only 4 grids to go 2x5. The L shaped design could be pretty awesome, it sounds like you have a lot more floor space than I do so expansion shouldn't be a problem at all. They also do re-enforced things for the hay loft too should you want to expand on that. I think I will be getting one in time, as I have a 2x3 at the minute and they are likely to need more space in the future.
 
I bought my complete cage on line, then went to Costco last night for if I want to extend. It pains me to say it but there grids are much better quality and very cheap. So I will be making the whole cage out if them. Shame I just spent loads on the kit.

Thanks pinky, I am tempted by screw fix one but it is the price! I dunno what to do really as I am all over the place normally sometimes in sometimes out arghhh..... lol
 
Hi, been looking at Costco website, what would I search for to find the grids? Or in store where are they found? Office supplies or diy?
Many thanks
