Habitat - Indoor :: PVC basking spot

[jridge]

I have looked around and can't find the post / thread, but I thought I saw somewhere on here that someone had posted a parts list and basic diagram for building a PVC basking area.....It might have been Steve, but I can't remeber for sure......Can someone help me out with this?

Thanks

Use the search function and type in "building and a and pvc and basking and area". You'll come up with 3 posts---look at jenaero's.

I think it would be a great idea to "sticky" this post near the top of the Indoor Habitat forum...... Very good info here---

That's a very nice basking area

There was an earlier suggestion in making a sticky with different basking areas but no one sent in any pics...

[jridge]

Steve, did you use any "T"s across the top (under the tiles) ?

[steve]

No Ts, but I am thinking of ways to lighten the load since I want to raise the area.

[jridge]

I was thinking (not to dispute a beautiful design) maybe 2 t sections going across to help support the tiles......What do you think?

hey steve can u start it by making your basking area a sticky and ppl can post their basking areas and then maybe we could merge them

[steve]

Good idea... being the procrastinator I am, I'll do it a bit later

I built mine this weekend......I used 3/4" PVC and built it by copying Steve's design.......The only difference is I used a "T" on the top bars to add stability....Sam is happy about it......(I think)....He's been basking a lot more than he used to !!

Can you post a pic so we can see? I enjoy seeing other set ups...always gives me new ideas.

I will have to borrow a camera......Give me a few days......It's basically just like Steve's......:>)
