We are in the process of making a plexiglass cage but i some recommendation on the plexiglass part.
This cage will be one side against the wall with a be in front of part of a window, maybe 1 foot of window space.
How tall should the plexiglass be?
Should we do wood in the back and plexiglass just in the front? We were thinking of doing plexiglass all around.
What did you rim the plexiglass with? Nothing? Tape? Trim?
What should I put on the bottom? We'll be using fleece liners.

Here is a picture of what we have so far.....

Hi, I have wood on 3 sides and plexiglass on the front as this was east to attach...I used no more nails tape! Plexiglass all round would look good although harder to attach together and not as bstable probably. Mine is 30cm tall and mine can almost reach the top if they really stretch but no way they could get out, I feel any lower and they would but depends on the piggies! Here's a pic of mine anyway!20160727_114814~2~2.webp

Thank you. Did u just cut the sides to size? What size is your base and how much was it? I was going to just buy ikea shelving units and table top to do mine. It's £20 for the table top (75x150). I'd love to do it a 80x160. Also did you get your plexiglass online or local? X

You're welcome..I got it cut to size in B&Q :) And I got that exact table top from IKEA too!
 
Plexiglass was online I think from plastic people but don't use them it was the worst service in terms of waiting for delivery and it not coming etc nightmare!
