I wanted to post a rough sketch of my plans for the raptor exhibits, just so you'll know what I'm talking about. It will look something like this:



and be made using about 5 of these:



Sorry, I'm not very good at sketching, but hopefully you can see what I mean!  :lol: The horizontal surface between the two roof peaks, and the horizontal surface that forms the top of the tunnel are my problems. They need to be some kind of "caging." I've been thinking of weaving plastic string (the kind you use for making those keychains) back and forth for it, but I'm open to suggestions.

I have no familiarity with these parts Bonnie, but don't the white parts have any slots to put plastic fenses on?

Well, instead of strings, can you not place these yellow fencings on the white parts?

Well, the pieces I am talking about are the middle "roof" section and the "floor" that goes under it. The white pieces only run vertically. But actually, you have given me an idea. If there is a cube somewhere with system x holes on all sides... well, I can't explain it. I'll just have to see if I can work on it. Thanks for the inspiration!  ;)

Yes that was my initial idea, use the supports horizontaly to fit the caging...I was about to suggest a square systex x part with a whole in the middle, but from what I see from the pics, its small for the width of the caging... this part however 30 05 4490 - Column, single-width, 3 levels of sockets on 2 sides might have a good width...

We're thinking along the same lines! I've been experimenting with it. Hopefully I'll have time to work on it some more later on. I'll try to take some pictures to illustrate the probllems I'm running in to.
