I usually get them in a craft store. We have Michael's Craft store here that I go to. That system sounds great. Make sure you post some pictures on how to do it when you're done.
BrinnANDGupta said:Yes yes but I am having problems with creating doors out of them and making it so air isn't leaking out everywhere. I am going to have to screw one by twos into the plastic around where I cut the hole and then caulk around them and then I am going to have to silicone the plexiglass to one by twos and create a door and hinge that one because I cant screw through plexiglass without it cracking...I tried for two hours. Problem is that is like EIGHT one by twos haha and I need some short little screws.
BrinnANDGupta said:I don't want it to be leak proof as much as I don't want that much air escaping out the sides. Hard to keep heat&humidity in
I have bought 8 1x2x8's and some little stainless steel 1/2" long screws to frame around the outside of the hole and then I will caulk the spaces in between the wood and plastic with clear caulk.
I am going to silicone the plexiglass to 1x2x8 frame and then screw the hinges into the wood creating doors. Problem solved hehehehe , I will never get rid of these huge storage things. They are my new starter enclosures until I of course find something better haha

I don't think I am going to be able to figure out the misting system.

You know, you could eventually consider the misting system in an outdoor enclosure for young sullies or redfoots. I have seen nice setups with those, really helps during dry hot weather. Much easier to connect to an outdoor spigot.
