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.

Buddy has jigs for everything he was building cages for the pheasant/sportsman’s clubs out here until the wire market collapsed he bought wire by the semi loads but the guy he dealt with was replaced with a new guy that was hard to deal with. He had a welding class of students making the frames and bending the wires. He keeps promising to drop off the supplies but it hasn’t happened yet. He still has some wire but I’m not sure how much. I’ve got enough wire to build 20 plus cages myself.

My guess is Klubertanz sold out or retired maybe, they had some lower prices on stuff that should of been more expensive last year now it makes sense.
