Status: offline 		Hi everyone and thanks for reading - I finally decided to tell my girlfriend (who's tried light bondage) about my desire to put her in a cage, and to my surprise she's totally cool with the idea! Problem is, we're way too shy to walk into a pet store and start climbing into cages - so I need to ask on here about what size cage I need (any cage I buy needs to be collapsible and fold up under the bed) - she's about 5' 5" and 110lbs...so she's fairly small, but I want to make sure she's comfortable inside and not cramped...any suggestions?

Status: offline 		Okay so you want to know what size cage to buy but aren't sure you wanna drop the cash.

People sized cages are EXPENSIVE. Period.

You will be needing a Cage for a Great Dane. 54"L X 37"H X 45"W

Also knows as a Midwest Colossal Create from this site Or click here for Other Retailers this will also give you an idea that to do it even just to TRY It you are looking at 100 to 300 dollars depending on how real you want it to be. Most Collapsible Cages are easy top get out of she will know this. Without the Use of Zip Ties or Small Pad Locks they are able to Disassemble while still inside them (Dogs don't have thumbs so this isn't an issue for dogs)

If you want SERIOUS STEEL CAGES I was recently asked to Research such things because someone assumed that STEEL as a Name and the Moniker "Theraputic Metalurgist" meant I worked with Metal...... I don't..... Not Well anyway. So I happen to have learned about getting Cells and Cages Made of STEEL with Locking doors and everything.

If you want the real deal you can expect to drop $2,000.00 to $10,000.00 dollars.

That being said I am sure I am hitting Over Kill for you this is just something you are interested in trying. So Go to PetSmart, ot PetCo, or Anyplace they sell cages for LARGE ANIMALS and find one you think will work. You can get a NON Colapseable cage for about 100 to 150 and the colapseable variety in the size you need should run you 200 to 300. and if you want it QUALITY so it won't break apart if she struggles while in the cage, expect to pay 400 to 700.

Status: offline 		I've recently had my first experience in a cage. It was great, but not something I need all the time so I can understand not wanting to spend a lot on something that might not get much use. If you are into other things besides seeing if a cage is something you'd like, there are ones built that are used for more than caging which is another reason I mentioned having one built. One of my friends builds one that is a combination cage and bondage/play table. I wish you and yours all the best in your explorations. Have fun!

Is this just a question on what size of cage?
Thern one that is big enough for her to stretch out fyll length when lating down....?
Od is it a question of where to buy and cost etc/

With a few modifications you could probably get six pallets and put them together in a sort of cube with hinges and a lock and voila... a decent sized wooden cage.

Status: offline 		If you can get hold of a friend who is not to shabby with metal work, and remembering I don't know what's available in the salvage material area there, you should be able to get the steel mesh used for concrete reinforcement and have a custom cage made up so it is easily broken down and transportable. Pity your not on my side of the Pacific Duck Pond for I could make you one over a weekend. Think second hand materials which will save on costs. I'd thing about also having a wooden floor over the metal too or at least a piece of industrial or good second hand carpet for her to curl up on.

Wow, good idea, but I like my plan better. Just collar a girl who was clearly McGuyver in a previous life and is handy with several different types of welders. Then command her to make the cage. *grins*

Status: offline 		Now that makes sense. When I make one for Bruin Cottage I'll be makinf a forged iron circular cage replete with fancy finishing on the iron work with lots of medieval decorative doodads and make it in the style of the medieval hanging "crow bate" cages. I want it to be both practical and a work of art. large enough to stand someone and just wide enough to he or she can sit and turn about as it hangs from a chain. Mind you, if I was asked to make them for sale the price would be close to AU$2,000 partly because there is a lot of work on forging everything including hinges and locking devices, and hand forged chain.

If you are going to toss welding gear at the McGuyver female best toss in angle grinders too..

Now this would be fun and very decorative for a party with 4 or so subs displayed.

Status: offline 		Could be the link between gogo dancers in a cage and medieval slaves dancing in one for different reasons. I do agree though especially if they were naked. I can just imagine it though if In was testing the cage in my garage/workshop when the meter reader came to read my power meter, the gas blokes came to top up my gas tanks or the religious folk came to try to convert me.. What a hoot. Mind you knowing my neighbourhood I may get orders from parents of local tearaway teens.

Status: offline 		I'm personally of the same mind as IronBear here.  Less expensive to just build it, when it comes to a good, solid, steel, heavy duty cage.  Your local hardware and building supply megastore or fencing supply store, or metal fabricators will have the metals you need for the bars and supports etc.  Welding isn't that difficult, nor is cutting metal.  And if you don't have the proper equipment to do so, I'm sure you can find a friend that does.  Or you can go rent the tools.  A lot of tool rental places out there.  Some places even have metal shops you can rent by the hour or day. 

That and, in the end, you'll have the product you want, not the one you have to settle for.  And I really like the idea of one being in the cage I made.  A far more personal touch.

Status: offline 		IronBear I like how you think ... continuing that line ...

In the states I'd consider an agricultural fencing supplier, and ask about hog panels or stallion panels.  Both are significantly heavier gauge then concrete reinforcement wire (you're not going to roll this stuff up!).  Its also galvanized so you're not going to get rust marks everywhere (but you can't paint it).  Stallion panels are 2"x4" mesh with each panel running around 5'x16', so one panel, and a set of bolt cutters to divide it up.  Hog panels are a bigger mesh, 4"x4" or 6"x6", and are therefore a bit cheaper and lighter, same gauge wire road.  Either one is going to be very sturdy.

I realize that galvanized also complicates welding, but for a collapsible design that's probably not what you need anyway. Some wire ties or even rope could be used to assemble it.  With some thought you'd only have to partial remove the two end panels for example, to collapse it.

It's 4' X 2'6'' ,I'm 5'2'' , about the same weight as your girl and I can kneel up and curl up in it quite easily.  When I'm shut in it with his dog, there's still room to get fairly comfy. I've slept in it too.

We bought it at the local pet shop and it cost approximately £40.
