i am starting this post for everyone to put up pics of pvc cages and links on how to make pvc cages and pics of their own cages. i am going to try and make one this wekend and need some ideas
so please post anything that has to do with pvc cages like pics or patterns or links, etc.

http://justforfuzzies.com/Other_Stuff/Cage/index.html Here is the cage we made.

here is the cage I made for Gizzeeee, and Ada
it's 3 ft by 2 1/2 ft and 5 ft high made from PVC and vinyl coated harware net

since this pic was taken I have added a side door that conects to an enclosure for play time.

I made one with branches and my girls absolutely loooooove it! That way I don't have to worry about getting branches to stay with that wire (super tiny holes). I used the 1/2'' pvc pipe so they have enough to grip on. I made my own layout through painstakingly drawing it out like a million times. I can send you the layout if you need the dimensions. It is unfortunately to large to fit through a door so I have to clean it all with a rag instead of taking it outside to hose it down!







I also suggest getting a pvc cutter. I got one from home depot (the one that I got from Lowes broke after a few times) for like $15 and it looks like these large wide blades on this handheld scissor that is kinda like a wrench I guess? You have to push down pull up and so forth but it slices through it crazy fast and easy!

With my leftover pvc I am also thinking of making a little travel cage for super cheap! I'll get the pics and layout up after I do it this weekend!

how much did it cost for you to make those... those are absolutely cool... ive been looking to make a bigger one for my gliders.

I wish I had the patience and time to make a cage. =/

I will be making a cage this summer. :D

I think I am going to start on one this Sunday. The cage my gliders came with is a little small I think.

What is the best wire to use for the outside of the cage?

The directions on the one I posted earlier said you can use landware clothe, but I was afraid there was a possibility that they may chew there way out so I used coated hardware clothe. More expensive, but much more sturdy.

Here's a pic of my cage that my husband helped me build for our quad.



I got the instructions from www.justforfuzzies.com. But, my husband modified ours so that we could have a pull out tray beneath the bottom. He also modified a couple other things, but I don't know what! LOL! He did the PVC, I did the zipties.

to babygirlali i would love the directions or layout r whatever you call it so i could add that pull out tray! could you tell me how to modify it to add that please?

filly47 i would like your layout/directions etc, i love the extra branches. also i like the idea of a travel cage out of left overs, if you could send me the directions/layout for that after you make it would lke it =]

i love everyones cages! thank you and please keep posting =]

filly47, how much did it cost to make a cage that big?

I'm going to be making a cage like that too. How did you guys do the corners? What type of wire mesh did you use? How did you connect it all? I love the way those cages look. Any advice for me? Thanks everyone.

Oops..I just posted some links for you on your other thread. You're faster than me. LOL

Lol I saw! I just figured I'd post something on this thread too lol

These cages are amazing and I think I'm going to have to follow suit!! I've been looking at cages online and I just can't seem to find the right cage. Are cages such as these hard to clean?? How do you clean the mesh??? and like several other people have posted, how much did it cost??

Yeah I'm definitely going to make one. I'm also wondering about the cost. How much was it for all the materials? And how do you make the doors? I can't wait to make one!

ok guys im getting ready to make one of these can anyone tell me what type/size of pvc to use and what kind of mesh is the best
