Thanks. I wanted to go bigger, but mum thought that was big enough. :roll:
It's kinda difficult to get them from B&Q, but they've just become a live product there, so it should be easier. Even if they don't have them in store, you can order them in (that's what I had to do). I can give the product code to anyone if they needed it.

Thank you!
They charged me £22 for a box of 24 grids, but a friend off another forum got them for £10 a box, I'm not sure which price you'd be charged. Either way is much cheaper than off Robert May. I bought 3 boxes but only used two so I might take the other box back, not sure yet. It could come in useful again.
I would definitely advise them - I used to have a dog crate for her, but I just didn't like it at all, so she was free roaming in my room for a while until I could get grids.
And they will fit into and size/shape of room. I'm a mod on an largely US forum where they are widely available, and people have come up with some great designs. :thumb:

Thank you. Yep it's plenty big, just a shame my mum won't allow me to have Ebony inside too to share the space.

I have them for the piggies but lost my patience when I tried to make it 2 tier cos it kept falling apart:?
That's great news that B&Q are getting them in. How many connectors do you get in a pack?

:lol: I've noticed a lot of people saying they found the connectors hard to work with, I really didn't though, they went in easy. I reinforced them all with cable ties, but the door has to be joined with just cable ties - that was a nightmare.
I'm not sure how many were in a pack...was a good amount though - I have maybe 6 left over from two boxes after I'd finished, and I used a lot.

Hi that looks great! Fantastic idea . Do you have the part code for the grids as I cant find them on the B&Q website? Are they just called NIC grids as I cant find them on the internet?
