I use to build them using 20 inch bycycle rims, don't have any pictures but all I did was remove the spokes, get som wire with 1 inch holes, a 12gauge, or 14 gauge welded wire works best, or what we call rat wire you can get at Lowe's or any hardware store. A 2foot X 10 foot piece will work, roll the wire around the rims, use steele bailing wire and lace that throught the spoke holes to secure the wire, then box the sides and cut off excess or bend around the cage. put a door in one end and you are done.

Hotshot, I have done the same thing, works like a charm. I have three that I made last year. They are still holding up fine.

I don't have any pics of them. I have once again lost my usb cord to download any pics. When I find it I will take pics and post them.
