Chandler's Cage 2.0

[Jevin]

Well weather hasn't been conducive to seal the wood, but almost got it prepped, may have gone overboard a bit lol.

Sanded

Unsanded

 

[Jevin]

Base has been sealed and first layer of wood sealent has been applied. Took forever for the weather to be right conditions for sealing wood.

 

[Jevin]

Also ironically barely have any down time in betwee coats, just gotta wait a few more minutes and coat 2 will be getting applied.

 

[Jevin]

Also, you can use a pneumatic stapler to secure the mesh if you have easier access to one of those versus a hand stapler.

 

[Jevin]

Two coats applied and almost able to start applying the third coat.

 

[Jevin]

3rd coat of sealant done, will do a few more coats tomorrow.

 

[Jevin]

Final sealant coat applied, now attaching the screen.

 

[Jevin]

All screened up and ready to go, just have to trim it down.

 

[Jevin]

Trimmed and starting final assembly!

Another good diy, I make mine very similar

Yeah I am allergic to cedar so that would be a no go for me.

Redwood is dope!!

Looking good. I have your build bookmarked. I'm probably going to do something similar but twice as wide next spring for my outside deck enclosure. I plan on using a 34x48 shower base for it and make it about 6' tall.

Something like this.

Yeah, a shower base was my original plan as it's designed for the function I'm using it for, but I managed to find something similar and adapt it. Cage is setup now, just have to finish putting in his plants. 4 MistKing nozzles in this cage, so no escaping getting misted in this cage lol

 

[Jevin]

And this is why the plants are the last to go in, that's a 2 litre pop bottle on the ground.

Those pothos are magnificent

 

[Jevin]

Those pothos are magnificent

Only had them for about a year and a half.

Cage is setup and running perfectly, just have to build the cabinet for it to sit on, currently reusing some of the base of the old cage.

 

[Jevin]

Also, my MistKing nozzles no longer emit a high pitched squeel since adding the 2 additional nozzles. And goodbye old cage!

Had to limp it along for longer than I would have liked.

 

[MissSkittles]

Wow! It looks great!

 

[Jevin]

Well had it up and running today, no leaks, drains wicked fast and even water that drips down the outside of the screen ends up in the drain. Very pleased with how this build turned out, can't wait to build it's cabinet and finish it off.
