Yeah I just think swing doors allows for easier access. As for the "save the planet energy types" I find all that nonsense a load of BS. Take energy saving bulbs for instance, because you're using more glass and extra wire etc. to make the things it takes more energy per bulb to manufacture than the customer saves by using one. Go figure. Also read a report in the paper that the World Meteorolgical Organisation said the "global warming" was just a natural phenomenon which happens every XXX years and the Earth has now started to cool. They said that the Earth is better able to cope with Carbon emissions than was first thought. Personally I just see it as a way for gov'ts to lay extra tax on us but I'm venturing WAAAAAAAAY off-topic here (buy hey it's my thread LOL).

Also I feel the three in a stack will kinda be heating each other and I'll be more likely to have to find a way to cool them rather than insulate it any further.

That sounds like a beast of a viv and I wish you well with it! Remember to post pics!

I've never built a viv that size. Building round a frame sounds a good idea, then skinning it with ply or something similar.

I'd love to see pics when it's done and some idea how you went about it.
