So I was sitting here thinking on how to make a cage. Well I can't build stuff worth a crap and then it hit me....what about using a portable closet as the frame adding the mesh and using the closet cover as a cage cover!? Lol. The bars are steal thoigh. If that isn't safe I'm sure I could find a pvc one? Here is a link to one. Ofcourse I would have to add some doors and a drop pan. portable closet

I envision cleaning and odor to be a problem. How will you keep the fabric from stinking? It will most likely trap all the odor. What about ventilation?

Oh I get what your saying now, I was thinking of the pop up closets that are rather sealed. Rubbermaid makes the one I'm thinking of I believe. My concern would be the safety of the frame, and the security of the mesh and how it would be attached.

I believe it could be made into a secure cage with the plastic garden mesh.
My concern would be that the metal posts may quickly begin to rust at the joints after being exposed to glider pee. It may be possible to coat all the joints and edges of the metal parts with clear nail polish to extend the life of the frame and prevent glider pee from seeping into the joints - the parts most likely slip together rather than being bolted together.
You might also need to find some plastic pipe joints and pieces that fit the pipes to add additional cross pieces for stability and to construct a door that can be secured.
I prefer well constructed metal cages because I do not like the appearance of the mesh and all the rough edges of the zip ties - but that is just my personal bias.
