What did you cover the flexwatt with? I did a wood enclosure also with the same pegboard style backing I currently only use a cerramic heater but am looking into flexwatt for heating

I covered it with vinyl tile. Got a lot going on with work so haven't had the time to do the doors yet. Hopefully I can get them done by the end of the month.

Gorgeous cage I choose the same stain color for mine but I painted the interior of the cage white using exterior paint to resist any moisture and mold. Also for brightness of the cage and I flipped the pegboard around so it showed white instead of the brown backing.

Swinging or sliding doors by the way?

I'm gonna do hinged swinging doors that are framed so the plexiglass doesn't have to be so thick.

I did the same thing i took 1/2" strips on both sides of the plexiglass for support and used a gate bolt lock on both sides. Mine was not a tower like yours it was just a single cage that had plexiglass on the left and right sides but no where near as good as construction as yours I learned from my mistakes.

I like it! Yes, it helps if you know someone that owns a shop full of wood working tools for sure! I got lucky on that.

I will definitely try to find someone with a shop next time or do a condo like yours

Awesome, the hole plywood is a good idea too! I know it has a name but don't remember it!
