Here is the viv stack me and dad are building.
It will be 4 vivs, the bottom and top around 17 inches tall, the middle two around 15 inches tall. Each viv will be 24 inches deep and 40 inches wide.
The outer body is a wardrobe from B&Q, with 2 of the shelves made into floors for the vivs. The back has been replaced with 9mm marine ply for stability, which will be sealed.
Progress so far-
The outer frame
The top floor-
Bottom floor (middle vivs not in yet)-
Glueing and tacking on the back-
Top viv with the back on-
Still to be done-
fronting, vent holes (though vents are purchased), middle partition, sealing, runners, cable holes and glass. |

Yeah they are 4 inches wider and 6 inches deeper than the current vivs.
The extra floorspace is great, cant wait to start decorating. |

| I would love to attempt this some day when I get more corns. It looks fab. I was just wondering though, do you get the glass specially cut to fit the size vivs that you make and do you have to get special glass? |

We are getting the glass from a glazing company pre cut to size. Just normal single panel glass, nothing fancy  |

Are you getting toughened glass? i would have thought this would be best just to save any misshaps. |

I think B&Q still have the sale on for the wardrobe, might be worth buying one and saving it for the future |
