Unless your rolling boxes out on a production line there is very little money left in them for a bespoke box maker. IMO but it is a buyers market. Atb Quote Link to post

Atb fair enough still wouldnt pay it its just a ferret box the one i have paid £22 for it and use it every other day in season and ive had 3 years out it so far and should have a good few more out it does look a hard wearing box and what about in the rain with the lids 1 Quote Link to post

socks 32,253 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 The thing with plastic is that it sweats in the heat is this stuff any different ........ 1 Quote Link to post
moxy 617 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 The thing with plastic is that it sweats in the heat is this stuff any different ........ I would say probably not but the box looks well ventilated. A few more detailed pictures would not go a miss. My reservation with it, is the strap attachment. The plastic clips are all well and good but offer no stability or balance when picking up the box with ferrets in. I do like the look though. Again to the OP. how is the now back attached ? And is the box sealed? Quote Link to post

And is the box sealed? Plastic doesnt sweat but you do get condensation caused by the body heat and breathing of the occupants. These boxes are well ventilated and there is a drain hole in the bottom of each compartmant. The backs are stapled using a compressed air stapler and the inside seams are all sealed with a silcon based sealer. i will try to put up some more pics later.

If you have to have a drain hole because of condensation then that says it all for me .... I'm out ......... Quote Link to post
