I'm ruined! I've now got to go out and do this! Great job!I brought a metal frame kit that snapped together- 15 minutes tops to put it together- no tools. I made sure to get the one that had all those holes running down the sides because I wanted to use that to secure my hardware cloth.
This is the unit I used http://www.lowes.com/pd_101933-1281...=1¤tURL=?Ntt=metal+shelf+unit&facetInfo
The unit is 48 inches wide x 24 deep so I brought 48" hardware cloth ($20.00). I cut 1 sheet to length and secured with 4" grey zip ties all the way down for the back. Then I cut a second piece to length and then cut in half (since each side is 24") secured each piece to the sides with more zip ties- super easy.
Now I just needed to make my doors and and a wooden lip to keep the mess in. The doors I made with 1/2 inch (I think that's the size) wood. I just cut 4 pieces of wood to size and stapled them together on both sides and then stapled hardware cloth to them- done. Then I took flat hinges and secured the doors to the shelving unit. The trick was to run a vertical piece of wood inside the unit right behind where I was screwing the hinges
Can you see the wood behind all those holes and the hinges? Super easy! Just screw the hinge in grabbing the wood behind and done. I also added a wooden lip inside to keep the mess in- that is just 4 pieces of wood screwed together.
I used alot of zip ties and staples for almost everything
Inside the unit I put down heavy duty contact paper so the wood stays dry and it's easy to clean.
