Best supplier of correx?

Post  Muja on August 12th 2011, 12:12 pm

I am taking Boogie to Uni with me so I want to make a c+c cage as it is less bulky than a zz. I have looked on many websites yet most only sell them in packs of 5 or 10 which is quite expensive. Plus I would like green or black and can't find these cheaply either. Has anyone found any good sites?

Thanks Smile

its probably best to drop Jellyhog on here a pm as she uses correx and did a lot of research prior to getting it all etc so she would probably be the best one to ask

ah you did good Smile thanks AA i use Vivs now but i have the remainder of my cubes left but like it said before, best place to get Correx from would be teacratepackaging online, its mega cheap comparing to anywhere else, i even asked in DIY stores and rang up sign making companies to see if they could do it cheaper but nope. i think its something like £4.99 a large sheet plus p&p which is good as you can cut it to size yourself.


i have about 27 cubed panels in total plus all the connectors (10 of the panels are the square kind, and the other 17 are mesh) its all a silver colour but im sure if you wanted to you could spray it black or green. the cubed cages are more and more expensive and less common to find, b&q you have to order them in from China that takes months sometimes (as they wait till they have a bulk order to ship them to the UK so b&q never give you an accurate arrival time, i waited 2 months for mine), another place was wickes but theyve discontinued theirs now and are no longer selling them.. but both places were expensive. like i say, i have 27 panels doing nothing here and although you are in Bath, you could organise a courier for them from me in Hinckley leics if you wanted? im asking £35 for them so if you're interested PM me Smile cheers x

Luckily I checked online at B+Q a few weeks ago and they had 2 in stock. I knew they were hard to find so I reserved a box and picked it up later that day, they weren't too expensive either. Will order the correx board in the next few days - again Thank You! big smile

Another question: What thickness did you get? The Teacrate packaging is only 2mm and I have seen on some other guinea pig forums that the minimum they reccommend is 4mm? I have also found green correx for £6 a sheet but it is only 1.22m X 1.22m which is too small :(

i just got black correx from them as it was the only available at the time, not sure what they do now but if you think the thickness is abit thin what i did was used cable ties to build up the thickness just put two layers together Smile good luck with uni!!
