Step 2: Measure and Cut the Wire Mesh

- Assemble the frame by connecting the rods or bars together with screws or bolts.

- Make sure the frame is square and level.

Step 4: Attach the Wire Mesh to the Frame

Tips:

- If you have a large dog, you may want to use a heavier gauge wire mesh.

- If you are not comfortable working with metal, you can purchase a ready-made wire dog cage from a pet store.
