So after reading all the "do it your self" projects on here...I did my own..lol heres what I made

Image

I got the Idea of acrylic plates..and using silicone, and decor' rocks from grey goose...then I used PVC to hold it up....I thought it looked kind of bare with just the PVC..so I wrapped it with fake vine leaves...I hope you like it!! :D

Looks like a combo of Grey Goose's and my basking areas :)

You want them to be able to dry of the bottom shells as well, so it should have levels or an incline. It would also help larger/heavier turts up there ;)

Very nice :) I like the genuine imitation plants! Are you going to make a ramp or steps for it?

The real question is...how does Nova like it? I'd love to see some pics of it in the tank, i like how you camouflaged the PVC with plants.

It looks nice. :) Now attach a ramp so your turtles can get on it easily.
