DIY Enclosure issues

So...I rushed to finish Charlie's enclosure back in March to get him in it (he was in a temporary pen that my 3 year old loved to access). Now that rush job is showing...ugh.


This is the enclosure. The hammock in between the upper levels has come off on one side (I applied too much pressure one day trying to catch a cricket!). The raised 'rock' area at the top of the ramp has cracked, and there are some other minor cosmetic issues cropping up. Also, he keeps falling off the upper level!!! Luckily, he has not harmed himself yet, but Now I'm in momma freak out mode.

Help! I guess I'm looking for advice on how to repair it. I'm honestly debating ripping it out and starting over but making it an insert instead of built in. Possibly even using a plywood base to build on so that it is sturdier and making it so that the only way down is through ONE central area where the hammock is attached.

Any advice is greatly appreciated (this enclosure if 4' x 4' x 20").

Thanks,
Gwen

I'll say this. I'm getting ready to do a build and I intend to do ALL inserts to make it totally modular because built-ins just don't seem like a good idea to me.

So listen to this. If you DO decide to go all modular then you can build that stuff now separately and when its all ready, then you can quickly take out what's in there and put it in. This may actually result in less disturbance than trying to repair what's in there.

I would do the plywood base thing, to make a new stand-alone shelf and ramp and then take what you have in out and put that in.

That's actually what I was starting to think of doing as it just seems to be peeling and cracking in more and more spots. I kick myself for not taking longer, but I needed something for him that was out of my 3 year old's reach...ugh. Plywood would definitely last longer and having it modular would make it so much easier to to clean
