There are several reasons, 1 being the fact they use 1" thick PVC. These are made to last a lifetime. I see several others warping making it impossible for doors to close or sagging in the center if you try and stack enclosures.
Id bet its harder than you think to make a DIY correctly. Making one so that the PVC has a sliding track, a 2" lip so substate and waste don't leak out ect is no simple task without all the correct tools. If you did make one after Glass Panels, PVC and anything else you had to buy how much would you save on a enclose that is under $200 shipped it already has all the bugs worked out? Thats how I look at it anyway.
On another note as far as the T8, I would definitely go with a T10 for the simple fact of the height difference & door size. Cleaning or using climbing decorations ect..
Inside Hight is 10" on a T8 vs 13" on a T10. Thats a lot when trying to reach in 2' deep to clean. IMO![]()
As far as anything else id add, the Boyz covered it all.. They are a Family business working out of their small shop.. I'll always hire a small owner run operation like myself any day just for the customer service & quality control.
I have 2 enclosures that are suppose to ship this Friday.. Ive been waiting 13 weeks and once they are here I'll be glad I chilled out and waited for what I truly wanted.
