Tango's emergency temp cage
Tango out grew his previous temp cage, and his new cage won't be done for a couple of weeks, so i'm building him a quick new temporary cage/pen to hold him over.
Went for quick, cheap and easy on this one, since I only have a few days before i'm out of down for a while, and can't leave him in his current setup. They definitely grow up quick!
Supplies:
2x : 4x8 sheets of plywood,
1x : can of polycrylic sealer
12x : angle brackets (only need 10, but come in bags of four
2x : hinges for the front
2x : hook and eye locks to secure the front.
I picked up the plywood from Lowes because they allow you to make a couple cuts, while our local homedepot only allows us to make one cut per piece of lumber. So I had them cut the 4x8s into 4 2x6 sheets and 4 2x2 sheets.
I did the sealant this evening:
