David R Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 You wouldn't be using marine ply... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herperjosh Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 You wouldn't be using marine ply... Oh on nzhs it says it is a good material to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptile_maniac Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I don't think you would have to have a certain thickness for the marine ply base but just thick enough to support the stuff inside....... or do u mean length?

reptilez Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I don't think you would have to have a certain thickness for the marine ply base but just thick enough to support the stuff inside....... or do u mean length? i passed my enclosures with 7 mm ply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptile_maniac Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 for everything else it sez tanalized and weathered square pine for the other stuff but marine ply for the base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Oh on nzhs it says it is a good material to use They mean H3 treated plywood, common mistake. Marine ply is made with special resins designed to soften when heated so it can be curved to shape, so unless you're building a spherical enclosure you won't need it.

herperjosh Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 for everything else it sez tanalized and weathered square pine for the other stuff but marine ply for the base yeah just a bit sceptical of pine and treated woods have heard they can make lizards sick but will apint it to make it safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptile_maniac Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I guess it just depends on the person who makes it wat wood they use cuz different people have different experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
