Best way to mount sticks in a cage.

[Aidancfol]

I have a diy wooden cage and I was wanting to know what the best way to secure branches would be. I have been looking at dragon stands but i don’t know if they would work on wood. Any advice.

I use black UV rated zip ties. "high temp" hot glue also works.

Zip ties... I ziptie knobby branches vertically in corners so i can use them as supports and structure for horizontal branches.

As others said above zip ties are good. I also use heavy duty plastic bread ties/twist ties

I rigged up a lattice with bamboo stakes and zipties, and used it as a frame on the smaller of my enclosures. Worked really well for me! Also provides easy vertical climbing for my lady Lily, who's prone to scaling mesh.

That’s a really good idea and it looks great!

Thank you! It's currently my favorite way of framing out a cage. Keeps the weight off the sides, and is very easy to rearrange if you feel like overhauling the cage in the future. Just snip a few zipties, and voila! I'll make a prettier version some day, but I'm not mad at it

I might have to try something out like that

Wow this looks amazing! I did something very similar with my free range.

Ooh, great idea for a free range! I can probably commandeer a corner somewhere...

Lol I’m working on convincing the wife to let me do the adjoining corner right now!

This is really easy to make, suits the purpose well and looks good once you have plants in and around it.

Smart! I've done similar stands for my birds I'm kinda surprised I never considered it for the chams... hmmm!
