Soooooo just picked up this tv cabinet.
plan was to knock a hole in the shelf or cut shelf to shape so me 2 1/2 yo male bredli could cruise between the 2 areas, even tho I knew the size of the cabinet before I picked it up i still can't get over how big it is. So now I'm thinking of changing my ideas and I'm liking my new idea as it will save me a lot of room.
just added the pic and for the life of me I don't know why it has turned sideways lol and can't seem to find if there is a rotate picture button anywhere.so hopefully jax will see and be kind enough to turn it for me
so back to it…so these are all internal measurements.
width of cabinet 1170 mm
depth of cabinet 420mm (back wall to front face)
top section - top of cabinet to shelf 400mm
main section - shelf to floor of cabinet 810 mm
door section -floor to base 460mm
so now I've seen the size I'm now thinking of putting my yearling spotted in the top section, which will mean he will have a home of H400xW1170xD420
Which will now leave the bredli to have a home of H816xW1170xD420 which should still be plenty heaps for him.
original plan was going to use a routed heat cord and tile on the shelf or heat lamp through the very top of the unit and cut part of the shelf out.
Am now thinking heat mat for the spotted ( hes already on a heat mat) but not sure how to heat up the bredli area. Im using a heat lamp for him, you can take a look at my only DIY (another DIY tv cabinet/enclosure thread) so I'm thinking I might have to change him to a heat cord.
any ideas or tips please don't be shy to let me know. There is no rush for this to be finished
Edit: changed the orientation of the cabinet so our members dont suffer neck strain
