Hey there.

We put a plastic sheet background on the 4ft woma enclosure, just used some of that kids non-toxic glue stick.

Just put the glue all over the back wall then slowly and firmly rub the plastic sheet over it starting from one side. Best if there's another person to hold the other side so it goes on straight.

Let it dry and air out for about 6-12hours and it was all good.

Had no problems with it so far and it has been up there for about a month now I'd say.
