I am buying from this site and want to know if anyone has any of these. If you do, I'd like to know how they worked out and a picture of them if you can.

Unfortunately, they do not have the thick J Clips, so I need to buy them from Klubertanz. I think there might be one other thing I need to get from them, but w/e.

PLASTIC EDGE PROTECTORS, 60" long strips (price is for 6 pieces)-$ 6.00.
Is it really six sixty inch strips??

Floor Spreader, 24"Price-$1.75.
Really don't get the pic they have, how do they go on??

The plastic edge protectors are really that long. You can cut them to size with snips. They're fun to get on, but if you're building your own cages, very helpful on a tight budget.

The floor spreaders are connected with c-rings, which should come with them. They are really helpful if you use galvanized before wire or smaller than 14 gauge wire (like 16 gauge). These really help support the floors and I used them in my earlier cages. After switching to 14 gauge galvanized AFTER wire, they are no longer needed. But they are an inexpensive fix when needed.

I also prefer the 2nd design spring locks to the swinging door locks. Some believe having the door swing in is the way to go. My experience is that having them swing out and to the side is optimal and the 2nd design spring locks (or at least some like them from Klubertanz) have worked the best for me.

Hope that helps.

The floor on my cages are 2x4ft, so I need the wire to support the floor. The wire is 16 gauge, all I could get at the store. Even if I had the better wire, 4ft span would still need support.
My doors are on the top and swing up and back. I hate cages with doors going in...ugh! They scare the rabbit, get in the way, just a huge pain...
Guess I will put in my order then.

I still don't get how the floor bars work, since the pic shows one end bent up, but the other end bends down....

Think of it as the ends bending right and left, along the front and back of the cage, to stabilize it.

Oh, ok. I was thinking it was more of a flat bar than a round bar, thus the vertical ends.
Thanks.
Ordered...$11 for shipping! Ugh....ah well.
