The green wire is...PVC Coated Hardware Cloth, 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch, can be found in "Home Depot" in the Nursery Section a.k.a as Gardening Section usually in 3 feet by 5 feet rolls if not more.

Um, this is sad, but heres where we got the wood. LOL..My bf is a framer (houses mostly) and he stole like 4 2x4's and we just cut them down the middle to make them 2x2's. And then I just Shellac'ed it really well. Hope that helped!!

I really like the cage. It looks really good for how easy it sounds. I never would of thought of making one like that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Nice work!

Question about the finish. Actually to anyone that may know. What is safe and what isn't? My gliders are't nibblers but if I make a cage I would like to have have a finish or some type of cover on it to keep it nice.

I know that there is a glider safe finish.. its baby safe.. so it says on the can. I had gotten a beautiful cage from Betsycc and she makes cages that look a lot like this one. BTW this cage is wonderful! Do you think we could get a picture when its full of toys and goodies to get the full effect?

oops thought I replied. thanks for getting back. I was going to buy those 5 foot tall cages off of ebay that several members have but home made wood and pvc I think will look better and prolly be cheaper. I like the idea of painting/staining the wood to match the furniture but wasn't sure about the finish being safe.
