Acrylic glass for DIY cage???

martin-bernstein

Anything Lava!
Does anyone know where I can order cheap but good custom cut plexi/acrylics for my next cage? I got my acrylics from AceHardware last time and it was just too expensive.
All advice and suggestions appreciated.
 
We bought plexi for our project at Lowe's. They will cut it to size for you. It is expensive, but doesn't seem like you can get that stuff cheap.
 
Either that or get out your yellow pages and look for a local plastics distributor. Depending on what size you need, often they might have scrap pieces they can sell you for wicked cheap and cut down for you as well. Even if its a larger piece, still cheaper than local hardware and you can save on shipping.

I called several and got quotes and then called them back and played them until I got a pretty good deal. I'd call one and say "Company X is going to give it to me for this, what can you do for me?"
 
I bought some from Home Depot cheap. I was in no hurry so anytime I was close I would check and see if they had any damaged pieces. When they custom cut pieces and get a crack or mistake they sell those pieces cheap at my local HD. I bought pieces 18" x 36" or close to that for $1.
