    Make sure you get the white and not the silver.

    I just zip tied them together. You might be able to find some good suction cups or something to rig up to place them on the side. the only size lowes had was a 2X4 peice and it cost me 12$

    You could just get some small PVC for legs.

    I have seen PVC used for legs by drilling a hole and zip tying to the eggcrate.
