Step-by-step instructions for making
The cages are made of a lattice, which is made of metal. They can be fixed in both a metal and a wooden frame.

For a cage with a metal frame, the following materials are required:

galvanized mesh, fine (cell diagonal – 1.5-2.5 mm, rod thickness – 2.5 mm);
wide mesh for the front wall (cell – 5 cm);
metal corners (thickness – about 3 mm);
galvanized sheet metal for the tray (thickness – 1.5 mm);
plywood sheets for the feeder (thickness – 1.5-2 mm);
water pipe (diameter – 5-7 cm);
steel loops and hooks;
dowel nails or anchor bolts;
Self-tapping screws for metal and wood.
The litter tray can be made of plastic.

The following tools are required:

welding machine;
screwdriver;
tape measure with marker;
building level.

strengthening the frame by welding additional diagonal corners (length 3-4 cm);
cutting an inclined egg collector from the mesh and folding its edge;
cutting out the side walls and roof of the cage;
processing the front wall (cutting horizontal cells at a height of 15-20 cm from the bottom to create an opening of 5 x 10 cm);
assembly of the cage, welding of fixed parts;
fastening the movable part to the hinges;
