We get a lot of questions about this exact topic so hopefully this will be a huge help to all of our customers!!! This is also why we insist on plywood cages for aquatic environments as melamine fused particleboard does not perform well when exposed to the elements.

Plywood by comparison, only expands 1-3% without losing any of its structural or thermal reintentive properties.
