Saw the fb post on these. That big one is amazing. Have the hinges not been put on in the pic, are they tucked inside some how or did you use piano hinges?

So I use screws as hinges I’ll add photos. Works pretty well for me.

Brilliant!
Was it cost effective or did you go over the retail price to get the sizes you wanted?
Either way nice work.

I have no idea what retail would be I’d have to pay someone to build me that cage custom. It’s 5 foot tall 3.5 ft wide and and 2.5 feet deep. I’d say yes it is it cost me about $60/$70. But I also got a steal on the aluminum frame normally it’s $3.98 per 7ft length I got it on sale for $.98. I bought like 50 or so. I used I’d say about 15 on this cage give or take 1 or 2. It took me somewhere around 6 hours to complete. Here’s a bad photo of me next to it so it gives you a little better idea on size I’m 5’8.

Thank you makes it look a little more slick in my opinion

Agreed, I like the clean look of it. Did you use machine screws for that then?

A site sponsor has a narrower cage you could stand in for just under 200$ so if you don't count your labor (and if you had fun why would you) you scored!!

Yeah I’d say retail without getting things on sale it would cost me $120 to build so either way it saves me there. It was fun frustrating sometimes but fun lol.
