Hi all.

The coroplast in the c&c is getting on my nerves - because I kept extending the cage, I have ended up with lots of bits of coroplast all stuck together, so it's uneven and a pain to clean. When I built it, I found measuring and scoring the coroplast really difficult and cut right through/wrongly measured some bits of it before I finally got it right.

What I'm interested in now is replacing it with vinyl/linoleum flooring - I am hoping it will be easier, as I can put it in the C&C and bend it to get the right measurements before scoring the back so it bends (would be much more difficult to cut through than coroplast!) and trimming any excess off. It would need to have sides, like a coroplast base, as my boys enjoy pooing right at the edge of the fleeceso that they fall down the side of the liners :roll:

Has anyone done this successfully?
 
Yeah, I couldn't find correx when I was building my first C&C many years ago so I needed something, and vinyl flooring came to mind.

It worked fine. You just need to make sure they don't chew it.

Thanks :) I will get some of those plastic paper spine things for the tops, as one of the boys is a chewer of everything lol.

Haven't tried Lino but I've experienced all the same issues with correx including keep changing size which has proved expensive to keep doing! And we get the thing of poos wedged in the corners!
