alex2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I looked around for a ladder and the reviews for most of them were not very good. The 3 foot ones were $25 each so I decided to make my own out of 1/2" CVPC since the outside diameter for 1/2" pvc which is 1/2" ID. Cost $25 for the pair and they seem to like them a lot and I am hoping they will hold up longer than the wooden ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabelltech Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Wish I were good at constructing things. The ladder I bought online was pure junk!! Lasted one day. I'm sure yours will be much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 I can post instructions, a complete material list and the lengths of the pieces and rungs if anyone is interested. If you have a pencil, pvc cutter and a drill, that's all you need. I used stainless steel bolts, washers and wing nuts to attach to the cage. All the pieces slip together tightly. I did not use any glue and I made it so you can pull the main ladder section off if you want to clean it. The only modification you would need to make is if your cage height from the floor is different than mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray P Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 There are a lot of nice things you can make out of pvc plastic pipe and its easy to work with. A lot of members will use vet wrap to wrap the pipe to make it easer to climb and a better grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana600 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I like what you did to stabilize them on the cage. They look really strong and will last a long time. You are not only handy, you are tuned in to the needs of your greys and making your life together in their best interest. Way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
