As a basic cost figure to build one 4x2x1 cage out of a 4x8 sheet heres you "basic cost" less shipping charges on the stuff



1- Black Expanded PVC 48" x 96" .240" Thick Sheet Yes $75.43

3- 1"x1"x1/8" Gray PVC-1 Extruded Angle Foot Yes $33.00

1- 24"x48" 1/4" acrylic (cheap homedepot/lowes etc) $32.00

1- Pint PVC glue $ 5.00

Hinges for doors (figure if one door min 3 hinges) $ 8.00

Camlocks or slide bolts if one door figure 3 of each $10-15.00

ok now some of the added things may or may not be dead costs but close figures. so with out shipping the 4x8 sheet of plastic to build one cage and 3 pcs of angle your total is around $168.00 to build one 4x2x1 cage. now if you build more say 4 cages you might can reduce that cost by $30 maybe on total costs of plastic

i would imagine shipping would run between $75-100.00 MIN unless your around the corner from them My Min shipping cost is $60 from my supplier and im in the same state 200 miles away so i would say a safe bet to build just one cage is going to run you $200.00 and thats a basic 4x2x1 w/ one door locks,hinges and no bells & whistles atleast not from USplastic.com the more ya build you might drop costs by $5-10 per cage maybe but not until ur up in the 6-10 cage range .



hope this helps and heres the link for ya to look yourself
