STEP-BY-STEP PHOTOGRAPHIC INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT IS "PUNCH BAR?"
Punch bar is exactly that; a flat horizontal fiber-glass or metal bar that has a series of equally-spaced holes punched through it. Fiber-glass or metal rods are then pushed through these holes and all are fused or spot-welded together during the manufacturing process of making the cage front.
The instructions shown here are used to build a wooden frame around one of these cage fronts. These framed fronts can then be used either singly, in pairs and even three or four across to make the English-style box-type breeding cages shown elsewhere on this site.
Just click on the thumbnails below to see enlarged photos with some guidelines to make your own framed fronts. When finished viewing and/or printing, click the back button on your browser bar to come back to this page.
