Build Information


	C&C is a concept not a brand so there is no such thing as genuine or fake. To our knowledge we are the only company in the UK to sell support bars and double panel roof panels.

	The system is modular to allow you to create your own design. You can build wider, longer or higher. YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE PANELS FOR A FLOOR

	If you buy a cage with a loft, the panels for the loft floor are supplied. We do not cut out an entrance for a ramp. The main floor area though has no panels.

	Each panel is about 36cm, they connect together with either a zip tie or a plastic connector. The connectors will hold a panel in any of its 8 slots.

	Panels are not supplied for a floor. Unless a loft is purchased, the hole in the loft floor is not cut to allow you flexibility. The panels can be safely cut with a pair of pliers

	As the panels are roughly 36cm a cage build would be about : 3x2 : 108cm x 72cm 4x2 : 144cm x 72cm 5x2 : 180cm x 72cm 6x2 : 216cm x 72cm As it is a modular system you can build anyhow you want based on the space you wanted to allocate to your pigs, you could build 3x3 or any size you want. You can also build up with layers or lofts

	Approx corrugated plastic sizes including lip @ 16cm all the way around are 3 x 2 : 142cm x 104cm 4 x 2 : 178cm x 104cm 5 x 2 : 214cm x 104cm 6 x 2 : 250cm x 104cm

	First mark out your corrugated plastic

	The main white area on this image shows the base of the corrugated plastic and the coloured in red area shows the lip

	Score along all the lines we show in blue, then cut along the lines we have shown in green

	You should now have something like this

	To create the corner


	Bend the corners around and either tape or use rivets These are available in our parts section

	Put the corrugated plastic inside you cage and you are ready for your piggies !!

	To create a hinge for a door or a roof use cable ties or our special hinges These are available in our parts section

	Tools you will need Scissors or a Stanley knife. Pen or Magic Marker Tape measure or Ruler Ruler or straight edge for marking Clear packing tape or rivets

	Optional
	Make a hay feeder from 1 sheet Get 1 extra sheet and bend it around a piece of wood.
	Make a hole in a sheet for the ramp (pliers required) To fit our ramp (which is actually guttering) just drill a couple of little holes at the end and connect to the hole in floor sheet with cable ties. Cut the hole to your requirements
	Make a ramp You can use corrugated plastic ( but make your you cut it the right way for strength ) with an old off cut of carrpet to allow traction Or we used to supply an off cut of guttering lined with an old off cut of carrpet to allow traction
	Make a standard roof This example shows a 4 x 2 with loft 1 x 2 using 13 panels and a 3 x 2 roof made from 8 panels, all panels are cable tied together. The roof is hinged by cable ties at the back of the cage. Please note the lip at the front to prevent the lid falling in the cage
	Make a folding roof This example shows the use of a metal bar along the middle of the roof panels allowing the roof panel to fold, as the bar is a little longer than the width of the cage it also acts as a support for the roof.
	New Clip on Roof Panel Double Panel ( NO PANELS / CONNECTORS OR CABLE TIES SUPPLIED ) 2 Roof Panels per purchase Panel Size (roughly) 72cm x 35cm These panels are not supplied as standard with any cage
	Support Bar Can be used for roof support or loft support

	We hope this is enough information regarding building your cage, if you require more help please email us.
