I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place but hopefully somebody can help me. I'm interested in building an arboreal viv out of perspex (sp) or similar. I've seen photographs of home made clear plastic vivs but never instructions on making them.

I have reasonable skill at woodwork and similar and a good range of tools on hand but I'm hoping somebody can give me a few pointers even if it's just a link to another site.

Thanks,

Cat x

I haven't tried this, but couldn't you use those right-angled plastic trims on the edges, and just aquarium seal the perspex to the trims? if that makes sense?

You could probably just attach an opening window by melting holes in the perspex and fixing a hinge using bolts. Aquarium sealed magnets might hold this shut.

You could melt holes or be careful with a drill to provide ventilation, or use mesh.


Just thoughts, I haven't actually tried any of this.

Found this if it helps in anyway:

Thank you. That looks good

Any more suggestions? Come on people I know some of you have made these.
