Sup. I needed a place to work out my costs for making my chinchilla's a custom Cage, using the space I have. Its L shaped height wise, hence the general weirdness.
Chosen Boards are .75" x 1.5" x 8' $1.05 Flashing is 1-1/2" corners x 10' $3.51 Giving 1/4" for mesh and flashing around pan Metal Pan: 36-1/2" long x 24-3/4" wide Max Height: 36" Top of L length: 18" Mid bar of L Height: 16" Lower L height: 20" Boards and cuts Lower Corners: 18-1/2" x8p Upper Corners: 14-1/2" x8p Mid Top Long: 40" x2p Top of L length: 18" x2p Front Lower L top bar: 25-1/4" Lower L bottom bars: 22-1/4" x2p Doors Front doors Height: 17-1/2" x4p Door 1 length: 16" x2p Door 2 length: 20-1/4" Will finish this later. |

![]() ![]() I finished the Schematics for the cage, now all I need to do is figure out the amount of wood and Flashing I need. Also, I wish I could edit, because most of the figures on wood pieces on the first post I redid to save cuts and money. Boards: 96" long 1: 40" + 15" + 15" + 23.5" 2: 37" + 18" + 18" + 20.25" 3: 32.25" + 32.25" + 13-1/8" + 16" 4: 34.5" + 14.5" + 14.5" + 14.5" + 16" 5: 17.5" + 17.5" + 17.5" + 17.5" + 24.25" 6: 25.25" + 25.25" + 25.25" + 18.5" 7: 25.25" + 25.25" + 19.75" + 24.25" 8: 18.5" + 18.5" + 18.5" + 18.5" + 20.25" 9: 24.25" + 13-1/8" + 22.25" + 19.75" leftovers: 16" intact Flashing: 120" long Top view upper L: 16.5" x2(33) w/ 25" x2 Top view lower L: 22.75" x2 w/ 25" x2 Rear vrts: 34.5" x2 Upper Vrts: 15.25" x2(30.5) Lower Verts: 18.5" x2 1: 25" x4 + 18.5" 2: 34.5" x2 + 22.75" x2 3: 16.5" x2 + 15.25" x2 Left overs: 56" intact $1.05 per board, 9 boards: $9.45 $3.51 per flashing, 3 lengths: $10.53 1: 4' x 8' Plywood: $15 1: roll of welded Steel mesh: $14 I found 1" mesh at lowes for this amazing price. 2' high, who knows how long(info says 25' and 50', but someone else says 10' so I'll have to see when I get it LOL. 6 hinges(not chosen yet: $12 3 handles: $6-10 More screws: $10 Rounded Total costs: $90 Fun fact: This would have been cheaper if it was a box, not an L shape. But its to fit the space I have, and to give my winchillas more space while making it easier to clean their cage. |
