Animal plastic Cage's.

[Sauzo]

PVC enclosures are sooo easy to just build yourself and sooo much cheaper. There just isn't anything to them and I feel that the prices some of these companies are charging for them are absurd. Especially since you still have to put them together and seal them yourself and be on a waiting list for weeks/months to get them. Literally, the only difference building your own is making a few simple cuts and drilling some holes. I think i'm in the wrong business... lol

Only applies if you have all the power tools needed plus the room in the garage. Also you have to factor in the cost of 1/2 inch CDPVC sheets, not the cheap expanded stuff. Plus unless I'm mistaken, glass is pretty expensive.

But i do agree, you could make them cheaper yourself as you dont have to pay for some other guys time. But heck if you are building your own, just buy a plastic welder and weld your cages like Boaphiles. I do like the welded cages.

And honestly, for the smaller cages, I'm not sure how much cheaper they really are. AP T8s are $150. Thats pretty cheap. A sheet of 4x8 CDPVC would probably cost around $90 and the glass would cost another $50? The bigger cages do get more expensive but again a T25 72x30x18 cage is $399. I imagine that would take at least 2 sheets of CDPVC plus 2x 3 ft glass doors. The killer on the big cages is the shipping. I paid over $300 in shipping for my 3 T25s as they are considered oversize and had to come by freight.
