Corrugated Plastic Cage Liner Base for 13.8 in Grids - Durable Cage

In this review the Corrugated Plastic Cage Liner Base is evaluated for small animal owners who use C&C grid cages with 13.8 in grids. The bottom line: this liner is best for owners who need a sturdy, waterproof replacement base that assembles in minutes and protects furniture or flooring. Our review found the product to be notably thicker and more durable than basic coroplast options, easy to wipe clean, and designed specifically for 13.8 in grid measurements rather than feet, so accurate measurement before purchase is essential.

Key Features

• Precise grid fit: Made for use with 13.8 in grids only, so it aligns cleanly with standard C&C grid dimensions when measured correctly.
• Quick assembly: Pre scored panels fold into place and lock with rivets, letting users build the base in minutes without complicated tools.
• Durable construction: Thicker coroplast construction provides improved resistance to wear compared with thinner competitors and retail options.
• Waterproof surface: Smooth, waterproof material wipes clean easily and helps reduce odor and staining from bedding or spills.
• Protects surfaces: The liner shields underlying furniture or flooring from bedding, moisture, and scratches caused by a cage frame.

Who It's For

The liner is ideal for guinea pig, hedgehog, or rabbit owners building or replacing the base of a C&C grid cage who already use 13.8 in grids and want a higher quality, longer lasting coroplast option. It suits DIY cage builders who value a waterproof, easy-to-clean floor that protects floors and furniture.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners who measure cages by ft rather than grid counts or who use nonstandard grid sizes; there are reports of misfit when customers assume ft measurements. Also, if you need a completely rigid molded tray rather than corrugated plastic, a hard plastic or commercial prefab base may be preferable.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-quality, thicker coroplast offers visible durability and longevity compared with thinner alternatives.
• Assembles quickly from pre scored panels and secures with rivets that keep the base stable during cleaning.
• Waterproof surface wipes clean easily and helps contain messes, protecting the area under the cage.
• Available in attractive colors, with customers noting deep shades like purple when offered.

Cons

• Strict requirement for 13.8 in grids only means buyers must measure grids carefully to avoid fit issues with cages measured in ft.
• Assembly and rivet installation are required, which may be a minor inconvenience for those wanting a ready-made tray.
