This is on an English site, but I'm sure you can find similar products in a hardware store. I've not used this tutorial I admit, but it looks easy enough and I would do it![]()

And it would also be pretty simple to mod that tutorial to have the hinge opening, you'd just need to modify the dimensions of the front piece and buy the wood and glass accordingly. Also, if you want to use a heat mat I highly suggest having a false glass floor, There's no way to not have the heat mat and thermostat probe inside a wooden viv as the heat doesn't get through the wood so well. Finally, it's also a good idea to seal any interior joins with aquarium sealant (you can you regular sealant that doesn't have anti-mould properties but it smells bad and I prefer aquarium because it's animal safe already, so you save the risk) as this stops moisture from seeping into the cracks and making the wood expand from the inside out. I'm not really a carpenter though, so take my advice on that sort of thing with a pinch of salt![]()
