To build or buy that is the question?

Posted by Chameleon996 on April 21, 2003 at 22:15:26:

I would like opinions on this please. I just got done painting and sealing two cages for my chams. The one that I built is 3ft.x1.5ft.x1.5ft. wood framing, screen sides and a solid bottom with the door on the top half of the front. The other one my dad built for me it's 3ft.x3ft.2ft. pebble board on the back and bottom, a built in drip catcher, screen sides, screen top, screen front and a door on the front that has two 12in.x12in. panes of glass. I know "GLASS" but I am going to remove it.

Anyway the smaller one cost me about $60.00 to build and the other one cost over $100.00 to build. Painting them was one big pain in the butt, I will be posting pics soon. The question however is would you rather build or buy? And if the answer is buy, Where do you get good screen cages that are reliable? I like the look of these ones made out of wood and I can customize them to what I need.

Sorry for the long post but thanks for any replies.
