I'll toss in another idea: When I think of the weight & hassle (to water-proof & keep in that way) of building with wood, I'm wondering what else might be used instead? Mind you, I'm not a builder, but I was wondering about the strength of those vinyl fence posts if used as a framework- they'd be easy enough to drill & attach things to. Just a thought...

I do think they should be strong enough for frame work. Most of my weight will be glass I am sure. I want to put something besides plate glass. Rainbow flopped against plate glass that was 1/2 inch thick when she was trying to eat and broke it. Might go acrylic that is 1inch thick for Stacy. I could put a plastic tub in for the water and that would be light weight so then lining the walls in a way that I could disassemble and yet put shelves and other features in for her. She will have a garden of plants also If I build what I want. Vines and all. Her tree will be fake but should be visually appealing.
