Re: Gloria Gets a New Enclosure!
Hi guys, sorry for the delay (busy week). I uploaded an album with more detail shots of the enclosure. Tsanford, the enclosure comes pre-cut and pre-drilled from Animal Plastics, so all you have to do is put pieces together and screw the enclosed screws into their pre-drilled holes. The PVC panels are all pre-cut to rest inside each other - if that makes any sense! The sliding glass door tracks are also pre-installed onto their respective panels so all you have to do is place the glass into the tracks. The glass also insets into the left and right side panels to create a tighter seal.

Anicat girl, I can't promise the PVC pipes are very "seamless". I used a TON of hot glue just to make sure they were secure. I was wary about drilling too many holes into the enclosure, but IF I had done it differently, I would use really long screws from the outside of the enclosure, through the panels and into the hollow center of each PVC pipe (on both sides) just to add an additional level of security and support. Hope that makes sense!

Otherwise I set up my enclosure just like The T-8 Tutorial (but with a light and an RHP instead of Flexwatt).
Happy to provide any additional pictures as needed. Just let me know what you want to see!

How tall is your enclosure? Looks great by the way!
