The Stormhaven Litter System-Step by Step Instructions

[Luvr of Wabbits and Polar Bears]

I haven't seen wood pellets before in our stores. I've been to Rona and Home Depot and didn't see any

 

[Runestonez]

We usually find ours at TSC, Country Depot or Co-Op.
Anywhere that sells horse supplies or tack.

Only Rona and Home Hardware in Edmonton carrywoodpellets (FireMaster) . You have to ask as they are hard to find in the store. I paid about $5.49 for 40 lbs. but I have seen prices of $10.00+ at pet shops.

I dunno if this helps, but at the Rona we have locally, the wood stove pellets are stored outside in the yard with the building supplies, not inside the store. You might have to ask somebody the next time you go in just to be sure.

Hope that helps!

I was totally inspired by the design and rushed out to get the light grating. It appears that nobody in the stores had ever heard of them (and it was a warehouse style lighting specialist store.

We also call it egg grating here...it is used mostly for businesses and offices to cover their flourescent lights! It is used in the suspended drop ceilings!

I guess there is no Home Depot there! The closest I have come to Cork is Belfast so I can't help you! Hopefully oneof the other peoples from Ireland can lend a hand!

I sort of explained it to the assistent but he said the stuff they use to diffuse those lights would be some thin material with no holes in it

 

[Runestonez]

That is another type of material that is used for flourescents...I think you may want to check with someone else...it may be possible that they don't have any...but if they carry the thin plastic they should have the grating as well! Or show them a picture of what you are looking for...maybe it is known as something else!

I found an older forum said it never caught on in the UK...but Halfords? had something similar? (This according to some aquarium hobbiests who use it for their tanks!)

Tried to look it up and got annoyed with the search engine!:grumpy:

 

[Sabine]

I did a google search too and got fed up with all the references on "grated egg":biggrin2:
We have Halfords I think, but I believe they sell bike stuff? Must be something else.

 

[Runestonez]

At least there were a few nice recipes! :biggrin2:

That's too bad...I guess you could try to order some from somewhere else...if they could get it to you in one peice!

There has to be something similar over there somewhere...Put your thinking cap on!

 

[Sabine]

The only thing I can think off are those plasic mats people put at the bottom of the sink. Some have a sort of grate. But I haven't even seen them in a while and they may not be rigid enough.

i just wanted to tell u thank u for posting the step by step instructions on here. i LOVE this litter box and im so excited to make one. (well, 3 actually lol) seems like we are wasting lots of hay and this looks like a great solution to saving more hay and keeping the pen cleaner!

thanks!!

I have been trying to find the light grating in stores and i havent found it. do you know of a web site that sells what you bought? i cant find anything! :[

 

[Runestonez]

We get ours at home depot...
Anywhere that sells flourescent lighting should have access to them...but depot is probably cheaper!

You could order it online I suppose...but they usually come in 2foot x 4foot sheets and it is fairly flexible and breakableat that size...soshipping would be pretty expensive!

Maybe some of the other members who have tracked some some down can offer some other places to look!

Ugh, you could ask those people at Lowes for lightbulbs and they wouldn't know. :grumpy:

 

[rosalie68]

i found mine at lowes by telling them it looked similar to the shopping cart bottom lol. i didnt know it was grating for lights until they found it for me. at our lowes it was against a back wall in the light section and they had them stacked on top of each other in a shelf. they arent in a box or anything. i hope that u can find them!

edit: i pulled the sticker off mine and this is what it says- PLASKOLITE, INC. white egg crate 2' x 4'

hope that helps

I wouldn't bother asking. The workers never know where it is. I asked when I was first looking for it at home depot and the people had no idea what I was talking about(I asked for flourescent lighting diffuser) and they kept sending me to the lighting department. Well at least at home depot the "egg crate" stuff isn't kept in the lighting department where the rest of the flourescent lighting stuff is, its in the section where the kitchen/bathroom renovation stuff is.

So dont' look in the lighting section, atleast at Homedepot or Rona(in canada).
