Dragon Ledge Alternative?

[Zan❤sChams]

I recently purchased a pack of dragon ledges from one of the forums' sponsors, Dragon Strand. They were amazing and I encourage everyone to buy some. However, I need one more. Dragon Strand only sell four packs and eight packs, not singles. I'm not willing to pay fifty dollars for four dragon ledges when I only need one. Are there similar products that are available in single packs?

Thumb tacks lol, I spent $3 and all my branches are held with them.

I need the ledge to zip-tie a pot to, not to hold branches. Sorry I didn't make that clear at first. Thanks anyway!

I've made my own out of window screen framing and washers. It's light weight and sturdy. It took a bit of drill and hacksaw work.

Make a wire holder for the pot and zip tie that to cage frame or another structure.

Did you try and setup like he shows on his website? If you followed the way he does it you most likely won't need another

Whose website do you mean, Chamifornia?

I built my own for less than 10 dollars.

That's very much what I did I just used the window screen aluminum frame as the "ledges" and washers for the spacers. I don't have any good pictures.

Just a follow up on this post. I have had a issue with wood rot when i put that type in y enclosures. Did this wood get moldy overtime or is it still holding up for you? Id like to try this in my cham home so let me know please

How many washers did you put between the ledge and the screen?

 

[JacksJill]

One or two I think. I notched the end of the framing so the outer portion was up against the outside of the screen and attached the inside portion flush with the inside of the frame. I only left enough space to get a thick zip tie in-between.

Its hard for me to visualize all of this. Do you have recent pics of how you notched it and made it flush?

I will try to remember to take some pictures tonight.

Hi were you able to take pics or no?

Sorry I had a class last night and forgot. So no.
Let me see if I can explain it. Figure your 24x24x48 is probably more like 23-3/4inches deep. Cut your outside pieces to be 23-3/4 if the cage frame is 1/2 inch hack saw part way thru the outside piece 1/2 inch from the end. Then fold down the flap to give yourself an extra screw placement.
