and am now living in one bedroom, with three 36" x 18" cages taking up space in the room. This leaves me little to no floor space. I'm looking for basically a giant shelving unit that can support the weight of at least a couple of cages, so I can start utilizing space. Any ideas? What are your setups?How do you stack cages?!

How do you stack cages?!
So, here's my dilema. I keep aquiring animals and am now living in one bedroom, with three 36" x 18" cages taking up space in the room. This leaves me little to no floor space. I'm looking for basically a giant shelving unit that can support the weight of at least a couple of cages, so I can start utilizing space. Any ideas? What are your setups?

Re: How do you stack cages?!
Best might actually be to buy pvc instead, most are made to stack. If you have top opening it might be the best option, or make your own (someone posted a sweet design, costume cages, they're amazing!!)
If they're sliding door opening, then you could build a box ontop of the tank for the lights, then stack another tank on top.
Others might have better ideas too, pics of them might help.

Re: How do you stack cages?!
When I used 30/40 gal breeders, I used the adjustable metal racking. They were great for holding cages. You will have to use the 48" wide shelving. Ive found an older picture to show you how I did it.

Re: How do you stack cages?!
They sell nice metal shelving units at Home Depot that I have seen used for cages. I ended up find some relatively inexpensive stacking enclosures so I went that route. But by relatively inexpensive, I mean I converted all my animals for somewhere between $1000 and $1500. I opted to not count it up because I don't really want to know.
