I am planning to make some of these cages to put in my pasture because my barn is getting pretty full. I live in Louisiana so it doesn't get freezing here. I have tons of wire left over and was wondering if I built the cages in this link, would I be able to put wire on the sides and back? Would it be to drafty or cold?

It's post number 3. I would put solid wooden floors and a galvanized roof with wire on the front, back, and sides. Does this sound good?

this was an old rabbit hutch there box where they can sleep in on windy night on hot nights they sleep out on the whire
 
Joe I use hutches similar to the ones in the link for when I have to put birds up for shows. I am in Middle, TN and it gets cold here but if I have to have someone in there while it is too cold I put hay down with shavings on top. I usually do not show when it is too cold.

Good luck,
Tisha
