I will be constructing a monitor cage in my garage that will be 8 feet long by 4 feet wide and around 7 feet tall. I plan on building the cage in 2 parts. 1 part being like a big square bathtub about 4 feet high and then the other part being the top of the cage with a huge window that will open. When I add the top piece to the bottom piece I will use big bolts to secure it, so if I ever need to move it I can break it down into the 2 halves for easier moving. I also plan on adding wheels to the bottom... LoL!



With all this said. I have a buddy that does fiberglass work for boats. He suggested using some of the really thin fiberglass boards and then fiberglassing the inside completely, so it will be like a boat deck. He said it will be unscratchable, never rot, and pretty light weight.



I'm wondering why I haven't seen more cages done like this before and why hasn't someone started making fiberglass cages? Seems like they would be better than the plastic cages I see built by professionals.



Any input on fiberglassing a cage will be greatly appreciated.
