Sorry. I meant that they (Animal Plastics) have built hundreds of cages so the quality of their cages will be better than someone trying to build one from scratch. More power to those who can build their own. I honestly still think the price would be so close that it would be worth it just to purchase one instead of taking the time to build one. Unless that's your thing and you enjoy it. I have two of the T8's and they are wonderful and were worth every penny.
