    Take that, flip it so the top is cut open and facing towards you with screening, and over the "side" put metal screening for the heat lamp. So it basically looks like it fell over. lol
    Got it- thanks.
    Yeah, I've debated about building cages that way in the past myself. Never tried it though.

    That could work also.

    yeah, take the pic in his link, shrink the window down and put it next to his description of the cage, and then it all makes sense.

    Kyle, I know one thing I have learned in building racks is that for some designs, specific tub make and model is critical. For one rack I built recently, I searched for the right tub for months. Seemed as every tub had something not quite good enough about it, often it was a crappy fitting lid.

    I just tried out the clips; they work great!
    I don't think a baby could fit between there now. (Thankfully.)
    Yeah, I was kinda ticking off my dad with my choiceness at Target. lol

    Okay, here it is, with clips and ex-escapee added. (You can't really tell the clips are there. :P )

    nice little pad there
    glad it's secure now
    what exactly are bulldog clips?
    and is the screen stitched, stapled, or glued on?
