Here's the links to a few pics of the setup I'm working on. Keep in mind, it's nothing fancy. It's not gonna be a showroom enclosure, but hopefully will be efficient in my case.

(I'm going to remove the casters and install some of that blue insulation board in between the supports, cap it off with plywood & then reinstall casters. I don't know if I'll be able to budge the cage once it's got 2ft of dirt in it but if I can, hopefully the casters will hold up so it can be moved. I can always lock my truck in 4-wheel drive & hook it to the cage.)

I'm planning on installing the blue insulation board between the studs all the way around cage. This cage will be in an enclosed garage so I want to make the cage's inside environment as little effectible as possible.
In that last pic, the 2 center studs on the left side (longest side) will be cut so they don't interfere with the sliding glass doors. I'll also have 2 access panels on each side.
The inside walls will be covered with smooth shower panels. Most people use FRP but I have my reasons for not doing so. Honestly,....... I suggest you use FRP or some other equivalent because my reasons are a little extreme and/or overzealous, but that's me, that's who I am. Ha! Ha! 
Hope this at least gives you a few ideas.
Take care!
