Ideas for a cage Stand

[JohnDoe]

I have been looking around to see what the best idea would be to build a cage stand. Not sure which is better, i have seen the shelves from lowes/homedepot, and i have seen the vanity sink idea, but not much DIY cage stands. Which is the best to use especially if i wanted to put a drainage in?

And second question where do most people put the holes in the bottom of cages to drain the water, and how do they get the water to drain? do then bend, tilt, or move the cage?

Anything will help still trying to figure things out

Thanks

I use these types of metal shelves (they come in different sizes) that are the same dimensions as my cages and place one shelf just lower than the cages enough to put a long 'under the bed' type of storage container. Then I drilled 3 holes in the center of my cage floors and put a large rock (like the size of my fist) or plant in the center, which makes the bottom sag just enough to make all the water run toward the holes and then down into my drainage containers, which I dump every other week or so. No water collects on the bottom at all. When I have people stay over I cover the stands with just a curtain of fabric tucked under the cages to hold it in place. It looks nicer that way since the chams are in the guest room. Then you can use other shelves on the stands to store cham supplies and feeder bins. It's clean and organized.
