Anyone help? And where can I get it from too?

I'm planning on a 1x2 hayloft too do I need correx for that? :))
 
You can get 2mm 8ft x 4ft sheets from Travis Perkins for about £7 a sheet. They may deliver for you if you live locally or you can curl them round to fit in your car (if your car is long enough).

Or you can order online (teacrate and mdp supplies sell correx). If you get smaller pieces you can tape them together with gaffer tape to make it up to the size you want. Mdp sell 4mm correx is you want something thicker. :)
 
you need to add a few inches on each side to go up a little bit so i would say 5ft base plus 6 inches and then 2ft plus 6 inches.

teacrate packaging is where i got my correx from.

i dont use it anymore though i just lino'd the floor.

That's interesting, I was wondering if I could use the lino type stuff used for tablecloths & place it on the floor, then put newspaper, towels, then the fleece on top, as long as the lino sheet was bigger than the cage & they couldn't get to the edge to chew it would that work?

Yes, I have done this for foster pigs before. Only difference being that when I rake the poops up, odd ones tend to ping out because there's no correx lip. But works well otherwise.
 
mine isn't a lino sheet i pulled up the carpet in the piggy room and replaced the whole thing with lino. mush easier to clean :)
 
I used the correx to line the hayloft - I had to make a few "joins" here and there, but it does help keep the hay in some sort of containment ;)

Is it possible to double up the correx from Travis Perkins, to make two & fit one inside the other for extra strength?
Thanks :)
