Dragon strand cage issue

[pantherchamlove36]

I have a hybrid dragon strand cage , the problem is I need to be 6 inches from the cage top with a basking area any ideas how I can do this

you Can put your lights up on wooden blocks. That’s what some people here do. Just keep in mind not to let anything hot touch the wood.

I'm looking for a way to make a basking spot 6 inches from the top of the cage sorry I didn't explain myself

 

[Flick boy]

So what is it your asking, how to install the branches at that distance? Dragon strand ledges

 

[Flick boy]

Also remember that if your basking area is 6 inches from the top ( then the height of your cham ) and if your heat/ uvb is on top your cham depending on size is only going to be 3 inches away ?

If I'm understanding, you're wanting a support structure/system for attaching branches, dowels, etc.(?)
DS does make one they call 'Dragon Ledges' or you can create something similar using aluminum flats or angles, wooden dowels, vinyl lattice, goat wire fencing, ceiling egg crate, square tomato cage, etc.

I got mine set up now with wooden dowels bout 6 inches from top of cage where uvb and basking light are

The dowels need to be at least 9-10inches from the top of your cage, if your uvb and basking lights are sitting directly on the top, to prevent your Cham from getting burned. You actually want the lights to be a good 9 inches from your chams back

Are you now saying that your problem posed in Post #1 is solved?

If your basking site is 6" from the screen top, and you're going by that 9" guesstimate then your Arcadia T5 HO 6% UVB w/ reflector (from other posts/threads) should be 3" above the screen top.

Basking light can/should (IMO) be considered separately.
