Is it better to use the type of screen you have or the larger hole screening? Just wondering about the chams claws when crawling on the screen.

 

[jeffro]

I think bigger is better but all there dinner gets out !!! haha

The legs dont look too sturdy, I would put pieces of wood connecting all of the legs like a box to give it more stability, or make them thicker

Agreed. I would be scared to put any more weight on them!

 

[jeffro]

They Are quite sturdey and even put plants in and there fine !

Interesting! What kind of wood did you use?

 

[jojackson]

Id still put in cross bracing Jeff, even if its only at floor level, so you can put in drip collection tubs or whatever, without them in the way.
If the timbre isnt sealed, moisture may make them warp and become unstable.
Otherwise, nice and neat looking!
