Dowel rod ladder

[SmokeJoker]

Hello all, I got some dowel rods and wanted to make a ladder for my cham cage like what I've seen in other peoples. The only thing is I don't know how to make one. I was thinking that if I used screws they would rust from the water so I'm at a loss for what to do. Thank you for any idead.

You can use galvanized screws or if you don't mind spending the money you can buy stainless steel ones.

Or plastic plumbing screws.

SJ,

You can drill your holes for the rungs and then use 15 min. epoxy in lieu of screws.

Or you can go to a pet store into the bird section and buy one for under $10 - that's what I did!

Sorry, just read that you already had the dowels, so can understand the DIY aspect.

We used sticks from outside and then used little zip ties. Time consuming, but it works.

Amazon have these for $10-$15 depending on whether you want the 24/36/48 inch ladders. I have 3 of them in my cage and they work wonders! Search for "north american pet ladder".

Not ladder related but I bought 24" grapevine perches at petco, $10 a pop,got one for up top of my new dragonstrand and one for lower levels to accompany the 20+ feet of vines I have lol

I don't like the look of the ladders. Fresh cut limbs/branches varying in diameter have always appealed to me so much more. To each their own of course.
