Just to give an idea of a custom made cage. I didnt have any set plans, I just used my head. I work construction.

I've always like the slant-front design.

excellent job,is that a melamine floor? what did you use to seal the plywood? glass or plastic on the doors? i also like the slant front design.have fun!

Yes i used melamine for the floor wich worked well. its been 2 yrs since useing the cage and it hasnt peeled or warped. I think i used birtch plywood on the sides. with no sealer. and lexan plexiglass on the front doors. lexan plexi is the only plexi that dosnt crack or chip. i was able to drill through it and fasten it with nuts/botls.

not sure i like the top, not much ventilation or convection can occur. plus with the hinge you risk escape as the open area when you open it is more then with sliding doors. great concept though, we did that idea for some table top type displays, got the idea of EBV and folks liked it! easier to view!

great going though.
