This is what i made up yesterday for my 6ft diamond enough room if grows pics attached
Timber i used 16mm ply no reason except got it for nothing
- First cut base out 250mm by 250mm
- Cut sides 2 times 250mm by 260mm
- Cut sides 2 times 282mm by160mm
- Srew or nail together i used nails
- Cut lid 282mm square
- Attach lid using a single hindge or 2 if u want
- Mark 20mm in from bottom and 20mm in from side then cut a 60mm squre hole i used a
jigsaw to cut hole and a drill to start by drilling holes close together by u could just use a
holesaw 60mm or close
- Give all edges quick sand to smooth off
- Seal inside gaps with white sika i cut all mine out with jigsaw and they never cut straight
top of cut is straight but bottom never is so ended up with a couple of gaps no bigger than
2mm
- Now you can sand all edges quicklyby hand to made all edges smooth especialy hole
where you snake comes in and out
- Ready for use
Was thinking of putting a coat of clear vanish over it to seal it and make it easy to clean but not sure if will affect snake ? havnt looked into it yet.
