Dice, I hadn't even considered the idea of using a pre-made mesh. That's an interesting option that having a whole bed containing cage opens up, and it could save me a lot of time running wire back and forth. Too bad, I've already spent a couple hours drilling holes in the PVC pipes in my 110-degree garage today (home on "vacation").
At about 8pm, I realized there was no way I was going to build this cage without some physical assistance. I also realized that a 10' PCB pole running vertically skyward from ground level was more than just overkill, likely to result in an unstable cube, not to mention brushing against my hanging telephone/cable wires. Now I have to decide exactly how much PCB to cut down the cage. Shall I accept 8' as enough. I know some of my cherries will easily top that. In any event, I'll certainly look into using something like that mesh you pointed out -- assuming I can work it out in my mind how to attach the net and make is sound. -naysen |
