Step 3
Put on your furniture feet or casters. This is a little thing that will make a huge difference when you want to move your cage. You can also attach long table type legs at this point but that isn't covered here. If you add long legs make sure that they are braced and very stable.

Step 4
Cover the inside bottom and sides with coroplast, linoleum or peal and stick tiles. This will give it a water proof bottom, make cleaning easier and protect your pet from chewing on the wood.

Step 5
Cut your wire shelving to size. You can have this pre done at the hardware store if you buy it new just make sure you have them cut some "notches out" so the corners fit together nicely (see fig 8). I cut them myself using a masonary cutting blade on my circular saw. Safety goggles are a must...so is long sleeves and pants (unlike I’m wearing). Look at the pretty sparks! I recommend bolt cutters if you have them.
