Question fake rock back drop advice

Hey all just finishing up my little fake rock project, pics so far are in my album.

I was hoping you could all give me some advice on your back walls.

I have a 4x2x2 front loading wooden viv, I was wondering whether its better to do the back wall and one side so it can be easily removed. And also do you have problems with crickets getting stuck or hiding.

Does any one have a 3 sided landscaped wall in there wooden vivs?

Another idea I had was to put a slight over hang on the bottom which could be covered in sand at a right angle to weigh it down into place any thoughts or pictures of what you lot have done much appreciated Pymn.

Love the viv design, i havent got any advice as such but check my viv design (mine is all glass) you will see it at Clovers new crib or you may be able to see it in my album.
Hope you get something sorted..sorry i could not be of more help.
