New Enclosure Furniture...Need background suggestions.

Very nice! I always wanted to do my own but I just cant find the time these days.I really do love the way they look.How long have you had yours?Does it degrade over time?

Had mine for nearly a year now and it does degrage/peel over time but it's not that hard to do patch up work. I've actually patch up that background already in the last month so it's now good as new.

In response to my own backgrounds, i have been planning too since i built my new triple decker tanks but have yet found the time I have seen several others that have made their own as well as instruction on how too, they look so much better and the dragon loves them more. On top of that, you can customize it to the way you want it exactly.

This looks pretty cool too.

How would you attach something like this bamboo shelf? Screws through the back?

The bamboo does look nice. We are using a grass mat (the kind you lay on at the beach) for Calypso's background. I bought them for a $1, LOL My daughter painted the background on it.

I am in the same situation as you are. My tank is 4 feet long and 2 feet high and I need something as well. I have started to look at posters to see if there is anything that would work. I just started looking at http://www.allposters.com/-st/Desert-Landscape-Posters_c52933_.htm as they have an entire section on desert landscapes. Maybe this will work for you...

Hockeball I agree that building it myself would be the most creative I just dont know if I have it in me right now.I would love to see what you come up with when you do and on a side note I ope you didnt take any offense to me and Diamc's silliness I guess we were both a bit giddy last night.

RedInk thanks for giving me that info I think I could deal with yearly patches if I ever get around to it :wink:

Hartungs thanks for the link I will check it out.

Raine if you have a wood enclosure you could do it using screw hooks into the side of the viv.I guess with a glass tank you would use suction cups.

LJean that was very creative idea indeed.So what did your daughter paint on them?

 

[LJean]

She made her own desert scene.

You may be able to see some of the background in the "viv only" I posted a pic of the viv earlier today.

 

[vickson420]

Ok thanks I will go take a look see

 

[LJean]

Ok thanks I will go take a look see

Please keep in mind that my daughter is only 10yrs old. But she is proud of the background.
