:Hmm... About the cheapest option I can think of would be to put an enclosure together using PVC pipe for framework and 1/2" x 1/2" GAW (galvanized after weld) hardware cloth for the walls. If you can find plastic coated all the better. Stay away from completely plastic mesh as an adult ig can tear through it in a matter of days if not hours....

:If this "temporary "enclosure is constructed large and well enough it could serve as an outdoor enclosure when the weather is warm so your ig can get some natural sun time in. This is absolutely the best source of UVB possible.

:FYI, you might want to check with a few carpenters locally. for the same $1-2000 you might be able to have them construct the "perfect" enclosure for your situation whereas Cages By Design may be somewhat limited in their construction due to their unfamiliarity with your space. Just my .02... ;)

:I'd go with the carpenter route. He'd probally get it done fast
and cheaper than CBD. I've also known two people who have bought
CBD enclosures and there now at all happy with them.
Just as an example both of them have had to replace the plexiglass panels at least once.
I've built my own outdoor enclosure (arizona) for just about $100
and it's 4'W X 7'H X 8'L. Consider your options.
