Cut a piece of wire mesh A 3.66 m x 150 cm (12 x 5 ft.) And bend it
Sides and dividers
Cut pieces of wire mesh A 40 x 45 cm (16 x 18 in.). Use four such pieces, spaced 122 cm (4 ft.) Apart, for colony cages use 17 spaced 22.8 cm (9 in.) apart for double cages. Secure the sides and dividers to the form with wire every 15 cm (6 in.) On the three sides that touch the form
Front
Cut a piece of wire mesh B 38 cm x 3.75 m (15 in. X 12 - 1/4 ft.). Use the protruding wires on the sides and top of the front to join it to the form. Secure the front to the cage dividers with wire
Door opening
