'Table' Help

nutnut517 · 07-02-2007, 07:09 PM

My hubby just bought one of the under bed storage things to make into a table, problem is that it has see through sides. Should i put paper round them so Travis the Tort can't see out?

Thats what I have done with mine...covered it with wrapping paper!

hi

or you could paint a panel arround the bottom on the outside
or perhaps you could change it for a different one that is not see through

There wasn't any other colours, and only costing £5 was too much af a bargain to miss out on!

Does anyone have any photo's / ideas about tables made from these kind of boxes? Any help would be appreciated.

I would have ago at painting it, as has been suggested. You could draw torts and plants on
it. Keeping it bright and cheerful<g>.

Hi, If you are going to paint the sides of the storage tub, I would be tempted to paint the outside of it, this will stop it being see through and will also be tortoise safe as the paint wont be able to be got at by your tortoise.
