The paneling was scrap paneling picked up at Builders Square. At $3.95 for a 3'x4' piece we used 3 pieces.
The 2"x2" and the molding were picked up at our neighborhood lumber yards as well as the screen.
The screen is ½ x1" screening. And I believe there is 10 ' of it. All total we spent :
Screen
...10" @ 1.75 per '
17.50
Paneling
..4 pieces @3.95
..11.85
2x2
4 10' lengths @ 3.00
.12.00
Molding

Total
$ 71.35
18x24x36 are the dimensions of the cage.
As far as plans go, we got the cage done by a friend. He had a special pair of pliers to bend the clips that hold the screen together, but you could do it with regular pliers. We do stuff for each other. We didn't like the way it looked, just a plain wire cage. So we framed it and paneled it and put the molding on anywhere it looked good and presto-chango a nice piece of work if you ask me. The plans were done as we went along, what ever looked good got done. We had do some redo's also. The final thing is 45 " high 20 " deep and 41 " long.
We didn't use any blue prints or plans. You can do this to just go for it let your cage have your personality.
