Cage questions

[GahhItsLee]

Ok so i figured i love my chinny... Ill make him an overly large cage so he can jump and frolic and enjoy himself but i cant figure out how to do it
What do you guys use in your homemade cages?
My main concern is what would I use for the sides?
Any sites with instructions or instructions on here would be much appreciated

Also what is a run?
I just read a thing on here saying someone wanted a run on there cage that confuses me

Runs are used by breeder's for their chins--if you are a pet owner you most likely do not want a run for your chin especially if you want him to have lots of room to frolic and play.

The person mentioning a "run" for their cage probably meant something like a dog run, or an additional pen the animal can get out to exercise in attached to the main cage. But for the most part with chins, a run is for breeding.

Oh ok thanks for that
Now to figure out how to build this cage
I cant figure out how to make it strong enough to hold shelves and toys and a frolicing chinny

Im moving this back up to the top of the list
Im still lost as to how to build this cage
I cant figure out anyway to get the side to stay strong since i assume everyone uses just normal wire for the sides
