Here's the ones I made, built to last 1"X2"X12.5ga 36 long wire 14X14 cages the wire is coated after it welded "galvanized/zinc" coated 22 cages out of a 100 ft roll. I used a 15" X100ft thin roll to cut down on waste that way. I just trimmed an inch off of the 15 in wide roll and I had a back cover piece then cut a front piece that allowed for more cage blanks and extra cages being made. If a guy preferred he could cover the back and bottom with one continuous allowing for more main cage blanks. I used blunt 12ga hog rings to avoid fur damage also.

Since I got you here just curious, did you make like a jig to bend your frames on or did you just cut and weld Everything together?

The guy I bought my cage trap building tools from, made an all steel break that bent square corners.
It would bend up to 4 foot long wire.
Some people bend on a wood frame somehow.
Never weld cage wire.
