Building hanging wire cages. The are meat bunnies, so they need some space. But as it turns out, the stuff for the walls is only 24", not 36", so after I take 2" from the top and 2" from the bottom to fold over and add some strength, that's a 20" height. I'll build two, take a close look at it, decide if I need to make changes before I make the other two (or three). Trying to decide how best to use the space.
You can always use the smaller ones for grow outs if you decide to go bigger.
Yes. I have 4x4s set upright 32 1/2" apart, with 13' 8" between them (don't ask, its based on the dimensions of an existing structure) with a roof about 7' on the shallow side. So I figured I could hang two levels of cages, and still have plenty of space underneath to catch bunny gold for gardening.
Two levels, one above the other?
Yup. Roofing steel or polycarbonate. Whichever is cheaper r I got now.
I actually went with a sheet of coroplast when I had stackers. Worked well. Still intact 5 yrs later as a roof for what was the bottom row, seperated the stacks when moving, never put them back togethor.
Sheet metal has won out, as continuation of the existing roof. Will last most of forever, matches everything already on the property and will provide an almost 4' wide sheltered walk for when I'm out filling feed buckets or usingf the second freezer.
I raided the local lowes for all their chipped or cracked tiles. Got them for almost free.
Oh that's a great idea!
