A tutorial of How to build a Eurostyle Front Sliding Vivarium your self. Similar to the video I did a couple year ago, but over the years Ive learned some tips and tricks along the way, I also tweaked the design a bit and made it easier to make, and also the end result is a much cleaner design.

Great build and instructions ! As I'm in Europe, those vivariums with bottom front vent and top back vent are usually those I would buy, most have up and down (so called guillotine) or sideway sliding doors but some have now non sliding side-opening door(s) (one single big, or two closing together). Glad to see you back !

Awesome!! Well done , thank you for getting in depth on these euro style builds . I love the style and always have wanted to build one but the task seemed so daunting, but with your step by step and instructions you just made it simple . Thank you for putting in the time and effort for the rest of us to take a shot at it.

Wow, nice improvements to the building process! I've got the glass for my build and will definitely use these tips. I'll be making two 16x17x18 tanks. One is a frog tank, the other is an aquatic newt tank, so it will have a 9 inch dam. Both will have a single pane door of 1/8 inch low iron glass with magnetic latches and hung on a piano hinge for better clarity. The hinge is acrylic, so I'll be using 3M VHB adhesive to mount it. You made me realize I should make the dam and fascia low iron on the newt tank. Thanks again for the video!

Hey Troy, thanks for the great content. This is definitely a much better option than modifying an already expensive AF exoterra! I love the step by step guide, I had never considered making my own tanks, but with this guide I think that not only can I do it, but the cash savings means a lot more money left over for frogs, plus a really great custom look.

Good video man! I’ve been religiously watching your videos and biotope gallery videos. Changed the way I make vivariums. Appreciate all your hard work for these vids!
