I was just wondering if any of you guys have built ur own vivariums as they appear to be quite steep in price for a large one.
If u have .. is it easy? |

the 3 x 3' stack was pretty straight forward, so was the viv i converted from an old kitchen unit.
for the 4ft stack i bought a flat pack wardrobe from Ikea as they were selling some off cheap that had slight chips and damaged boxes. that gave us enough wood and at a very good price too! glass runners, vents and perspex can all be sourced, if you ask on TCS there's plenty of people who can make recommendations.
you could also have a look at this for a rough guide

I've built both of mine. How easy it is depends on what you use.
Money wise I saved about £50 (1/2) on the shop bought ones for a 4x2x1.5 |
