Glider room construction is done!

Glider room construction is done! - 06/18/09 01:53 AM

Finally! dance My wonderful hubby mlove got my glider rooms done! I now have a room for my cages that is about 9'x16' and the playroom is about 9'10'. I will have lots of room to put all of my glider stuff in one room. The playroom has a small storage closet in it. I can't wait to get it all set up! jump

You have to walk into the cage room and close the door, then turn right and go into the play room. I used screen doors for added ventilation. I also have petscreen over the HVAC vent ~ just in case. Above the closet is a screened area for added airflow for extra heat in the winter(because there are hot water pipes for our outdoor wood burner in there). We put safety things in all of the electrical outlets, and he installed a flushmount 4' fluorescent light in the playroom so the gliders can't get to the bulbs, or get behind/under it. The only thing I need in there is something to go under the closet door so the gliders can't get inside of it when playing.

That is awesome! I just finished redoing my glider room too, but I sure wish I had a separate play room and cage room! Nice job! I can't wait to see it all set up!

My glider room is a spare bedroom, but it is so nice to be able to have a room devoted to them! Especially when you have as much glider stuff as I do! Looks great! Now get busy, we need pix of gliders in there! dance

Awesome rooms but I don't know if I could sleep without my babies in the room with me.

I am so used to sleeping with all the critters in the same room, parrots, gliders and the lone guinea pig.

That is so cool!! You are so lucky.. I have about 13 years until I will get my glider room ( that is if my kids move out when they are 18) lol. Or... I could just get the hubby to make our house bigger... lol

The room looks great- and you might be able to go to Lowes or Home depot for one of those bottom-of-the-door guards that would keep them out of the closet in the plyroom!

WOW if I only had that much "extra" space in the new house. We are lucky if we don't have to sit ontop of eachother. I can't wait to see what it looks like when it is all set up! I am jelious! Shhh, don't let my suggies get wind of this, they will feel deprived!

Totally jealous of your new room! My gliders want to come visit! There were small hopes of a glider room for a little bit, but then my brother moved in, my husband started working at home, & soon my sister is moving in.....so there are no extra play rooms here. We have our tent though!

At the SGGA, I was able to get a couple of things for my glider room. My gliders absolutely LOVE going in there! I still have some things to do in there, but here it is...

BEAUTIFUL! my gliders and I are so jealous! Just one ?. I have a big 12x12 room for mine...How do you keep the walls and floors from not smelling?? Is there something special you use??

Re: Glider room construction is done! - 08/03/09 12:16 AM

The floor is painted concrete, so it cleans up real easy. The walls are paneling and can be wiped down; but they play on the "stuff" in the room and on the fleece on the walls. They can't climb the walls, so they aren't getting it dirty from them like cage walls get. Obviously the fleece can be taken down and washed.

So far no problems!

Shelly, what do you mean by "painted concrete" ? if it's what i think it is, you need to keep an eye on it, bc it CAN peel off !

Re: Glider room construction is done! - 08/04/09 02:08 AM

I used the paint for garage floors, so it's made for much more abuse than my gliders could ever do. (BTW - It was obviously dry and all odors of paint gone before my gliders ever went near the room. I took every precaution I could.)

I also have fleece on the floor for them to crawl across. Ultimately, I want to get floor mats ~ something a bit softer for when they jump to the floor.

Keep in mind that this is just a play room, and they are supervised when in there. For the most part, they stay up high and not so much on the floor. They have so much fun. One of these days I'll have to get video!
