Some people do use PVC pipe for the major structural element of DIY cages - especially outdoor ones. Try using the search bar, there are a number of DIY projects outlined by other members 
I'd like to offer more specific help, but I am approximately 0% handy and leave the construction part of chameleon-keeping to the professionals haha

Ive made several.
Pro tips:
Use home depot / lowes pvc, but use "non pottable water rated" elbows meant for making pvc furniture.
Next is i only glue 1 demension. So for my last project i glued the base, bit frame, and top, but did not glue the posts. Its easy to tear down.

Thats what i used. I think its also called poultry netting.
If the cage is round and only 2ft in diameter, you might only need a wood top/botton and it can be self standing.

It’d be a rectangular prism, 30 inches deep and long, and 60 inches high, with an integrated drainage system underneath. Screened on the top, top.
