ursula Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I've just received delivery of a purple eglu cube. I've just ordered another one! Has anyone tried to connect two cubes ( one at each end both connected to the same run) with either some kind of door in the middle or leaving off one of the end wire under the cube itself? Would be grateful for any tips/advice/help. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I don't see why it couldn't be possible, but so far as I know, no-one on the forum has atempted it yet. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 You should be able to cut a hole in one of the sides and patch in one of the end panels with the door in (especially useful if its the new larger door) you can use the run clips to secure it all together Its easy to cut through the run mesh with a pair of very strong pliers Good luck with it!

ChickenGeorge2 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Just connected 2 Green cubes together this weekend with 4 * one mtr run extensions between. Hinged one run side with run clips to act as easy access door and cut out out small door for birds to use. Have fitted auto pop hole opener over small door so now the girls let themselves out to free range in the morning and once they go to bed the door closes. Much easier now. Will try to get some photos on in the next few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoebe Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Wow Chicken George2 and I thought I had done well attaching lawn edging round my cube run last weekend. I now feel a complete amateur ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 That looks good George, do you have a close-up of the door arrangement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickenGeorge2 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Let me know if this is Ok if not I will try again. The side run panel hinges easily and I strenghthened it with green metal garden canes it is held shut with short bungees. The auto pop hole is mounted on treated MDF and is controlled with a timer. The timer had to be mounted in a sealed kitchen container as the manufacturer does not guarantee that it is waterproof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 That's great thanks George - fantastic set-up and very cleverly built too. I hope that isn't one of Christian's lock & Locks that you've sealed the mechanism in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
