longwinded? i apologize first i want to say thanks guys this kind of feedback is exactly what i was looking for. i was skeptical of the kind of criticism i would receive by subscribing to a forum but its turned out great. so you might be asking your self "why doesn't this hippy just get a...

What are the features of a practical cage? I'm at the brainstorming stage right now so I'm in for some editing with the help of those on this forum. At minimum 6 months away from actually getting this going. And thanks.

18x18x36. I was thinking it was a smaller breed so it would be alright.

Drainage is something I have to work out. Over spray... I'm just hoping to be careful. If a little mist goes out it will be 3-4 feet off ground so I'm not too concerned about it. It will be anchored to stud in ceiling in a way appropriate for weight. The access is my favorite part! So I'll...

So I've changed the design almost completely. I'm going to a hanging fixture. Picture says most of it. Any questions or concerns about this idea. Suggestions? https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5Jd2HbDTgTvLVlrQ1k4aHFweTQ/edit?usp=docslist_api

This is the kind of look I'm going for with the iron work of the cage. https://www.etsy.com/listing/92694834/large-vintage-black-wrought-iron-bird#zoom

So you don't think it will work then? I need to know why?

Not completely relevant, but is California a rock in a hard place with the ALS ice bucket challenge going around in the midst of this drought? Was gonna suggest that but then I read your comment.

Okay so I have illustrated the idea with a square cage and the light fixture I was thinking about. The light yellow-brown in the pot symbolize some sticks I could affix for more horizontal climbing. Forgot to draw the tray in there as well as the screen but they will be there. I need to research...

This is indoors. Good idea about the tray, for sure use that. Is there a reason you prefer the linear UVB lights? Is it that much of an advantage? I have an idea that will turn the light on the cage top into hanging lights. So when I take it off I can use it to hang the lights above the plant...

Thanks for all the feedback. Okay so rectangle might be better I can do that. I'm not sure how big it looks to you in the picture but I was gonna use a 18"-20" pot an go 48" or so up with the cage. I can do a square flower pot. The idea is to have it easily removable so I can take it off when...

I would be making it from metal by welding it.

Hi guys just joined the forum. Been researching intensely for a while now. Thinking of making a cage I can put over a set of potted plants that would be easily removed. Sort of a partial free range type thing. As I go on I'll be collecting solid details (substrate, lighting, type of plants ect.)...
