I was researching on here and other websites in regards to the type of wood they used to build their BD viv. I found that most people used plywood, oak, melamine.

IKEA sells furniture that can be disassembled once assembled. I have yet to find a VIV made someone that can be disassembled. Why? Well, I want to build a viv that can be disassembled to make it easier to move when we move around.

One of my problems when I build my VIV is the type of wood to use. Some say that plywood needs to be sealed, while some don't. Also, that it may not be strong enough as a frame to hold a stack of 4x2x2 VIV. Then there is melamine, a heavy wood but nice looking wood.

I was thinking of using 1/2" - 3/4" birch plywood that is 6' tall.

What my plan was, not sure if its legible once posted is....

If it wasn't posted the way i wanted it to, I'll describe it. So 1' of storage space as base. On top of that is a 4'x2'x2' VIV and on top of that is another 1' of storage space, followed by another 4'x2'x2' VIV.

If i was to use 3/4" birch plywood, would it be strong enough to hold this structure?

You would need center pillars in at least the bottom three spaces to keep the floors and ceilings from bowing

Is there a way of making the ceiling more sturdy without having to add pillars? how about adding more layers of plywood in between each of the housing?

What about having removing the top storage space and just make the bottom storage bigger? so 2 ft of storage space as base and 2 4x2x2 vivs on top of each other?

Also, if you were to build a 4x2x2 enclosure with light fixtures for all the lighting, how much would you sell it for?

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
