For a 2x4 grid basic cage:
(10 grids)

Start with a grid base. Use the connectors that came with your grids on all corners, so the base does not wobble.
If you don't want to do a grid base w/ a platform, long banquet tables work well too.


 

Add a plywood platform at least 2 inches wider and longer than your grid base.

Be sure it is NOT made of pine or cedar wood. These can be toxic to your guinea pigs.


Add your grid walls.

10 grid base, 12 grid cage=22 grids=2pkgs of 13pk grids&connectors from Walmart is approx. $27
Add coroplast or vinyl flooring with 6 inch high sides.
