Self-made terrarium?

17 years ago

Has anyone ever made their own terrarium? All the terrariums I find are made with metal. I want to make mine with glass walls and a wood base and corner posts. Has anyone ever made a terrarium like this? And if not, does anyone know any websites which show a step-by-step instruction on how to build a terrarium like the one described above? Thanks!

I think just about everyone here has built their own terrarium. You might try clicking the gallery link and looking at some pictures. I've built very large ones from both wood and metal, using glass and plexiglass. {{gwi:568366}} are some pictures of mine.
