: Yes it's the same cage I was working on when you stopped by. I am not sure about the weight of it, but it would definitely take a strong wind to blow it over. It has four heavy-duty swivel rollers on the bottom and both the top and bottom are 1/2" plywood. Something that can be done to increase the weight, would be to find the PVC tubes with play sand. You don't have to fill them all the way. I will be showing several types of plans when I start working on them again. And one will be filling a section with sand for additional weight. I have about 2 months worth of plans upstairs (my brain) that I have to write down on paper and start checking them off. Some additional items will be: built in wiring for the lights (no cords showing), a drainable water tub (doesn't have to be removed), a bottom tray that slides out for easy cleaning.

: I am also considering offering to package a complete kit (less the plywood) to purchase and be shipped. All pieces would be marked and a detailed instructional booklet would be included.

: Currently I am designing an optional way of attaching the plastic wire to the frame work. Tie wraps are ok, but I have something else that might work better and make the appearence more suitable.
: As soon as it's ready I will post the notice.
