I'd go with the last dimensions. I figure more ground room relates better than height.

That was my thinking but I dont have a single fly pen. My pens are 3x3x4 ibc totes, 6x6x5.6 a frame, and 4x4x6 stalls. It will be a extra pen to change birds around so I was thinking 6x6x8 also. My wire is 2x4 welded wire 6ft tall and lumber is 8ft so I dont want to waste. I appreciate the suggestion

I ain't tall I think 6ft would also help catch a un handled unsettled wired bird just a bit better as well. Unless he's building a flypen, but those don't need to be so wide or deep. Plus In my opinion you only need one area to work them back into shape it will make you more hands on which is always a plus anytime you can get more personal with birds to help tame em up.

What area is that?

That's why I love cords honestly, but my birds don't stay on em. I'm still a bit iffy especially with the owls to say the least lol.

I use cords to but like you I dont leave them on them all the time just when I'm able

I have two buildings ones got a cushion (and other junk) ones got a pole and 7 pullets in it at the moment. AKA make shift.

Got over 30 cords now so I've got plenty of those lol I went a bit over board when woods had a deal on em.

I had a bird break one last year (older one I forget who made em) a stout stag and went 30ft into a dang tree tangled up like you wouldn't believe. It was a straight mess!

My wife is 2x4 welded wire 6ft tall and lumber is 8ft so I dont want to waste. I appreciate the suggestion

Are you telling us that you built your spouse out of wire and wood?

Sometimes that seems like a better option...

Um. .ouch.
I'd use something softer if I were you.
