This will be based on a basic enclosure design (3' X 3' X 6') of 4 sides (1 as a door) and 1 top.
*Remember this is your cage so the quality of your work should be the focus. You'll thank yourself throughout and at the end of the project.

Cut list for standard frames/door panels

Use a stopper when sawing several similar pieces to keep them a consistant length. Tip: A wall or any stationary object works great for this.

Cut list for standard top
*There are 20 corner supports (CS) total. Tip: Use the scraps cut off from the other pieces.

Tip: Stay organized and keep your similar pieces together for easier assembly of the frames!

Assembly of standard panel


Set one of the standard frames aside for the door. This will not get a CS installed.

Install the corner supports (CS) with 2 1/2" screws (ref. pg. 4). Be sure your frame is flat and square when screwing together (ref. preinstructions).





*Tip: If your frame is not square, clamp a CS with a C-clamp in a corner that measured the shortest like you were installing it. Slowly tighten with the clamp until both sides measure within 1/16" +/- corner to corner on both sides. Double check the squareness of your corners when finished.
Add your mesh or solid back as desired according to drawings. (ref. pg. 5, 6, 10)
