Went to B&Q today to pick up some timber for a viv project
after seeing a few on here, particularly one by 'lotabob'
really inspired me to make my own :)
its not complete yet but there is a pic of what i managed to get done tonight.
I'll be ordering the glass etc over the weekend and will upload pics as i go...
So far... (the gap at the top is there intentionally and will be filled lol)

Thanks guys :)
from B&Q the wood was cut free of charge and 17 quid a sheet, we needed two but have loads left lol
the feet were a fiver each but the viv looks loads better off the floor
paint was £13 bathroom paint to help against moisture
glass runners off ebay for £4 a set
ventilation bungs, again £4 a set
so far about £80 with fixes n screws etc so not bad at all :)
gotta order the glass this week so ill let you know

I shall be off to B n Q now lol
Been looking for a nice set of feet for my stack as I don't like the viv exotic ones.
Thought id point out that Travis Perkins sell the vents bungs but they are not listed as this, they sell them as soffit vents but they are exactly the same as vents bungs sold on ebay.
I bought 2 the other week from them for one of my vivs and I think I paid about 50p each plus the vat but I'll have check the receipt. |
