The cage is made from aluminum profile for chinchillas.

The most necessary for the construction of the storefront, it's straight hands and that the head was in place. Because otherwise, the time spent will be in vain, not to mention a lot of money. And the showcase that was supposed to please you, will remind you, your crooked hands :)

First of all, for the manufacture of display cases you will need an aluminum profile for commercial equipment . After all, do not twist it without it or not.

For one-time construction it is quite possible to manage two kinds of profiles. The length of the profile is 6 m. Therefore, make the dimensions of the display case such that the remains of the profile are as small as possible.

Showcase accessories

You can buy accessories from the same company where you purchased the profile. The truth is not always it is available :(

To connect the profile to each other, you will need to purchase the connecting elements. But even if you did not manage to buy them, they can be made of PVC sheet plastic.

After you get all the components, you can start assembling the storefront. To do this, fix the connecting elements to the installation locations of the profile and install the wheels.

As a wall in order to save the family budget, you can use a fiberboard glued with self-adhesive. The disadvantage of fiberboard is that its thickness is 3.2 mm. And the width of the groove in the profile is 5 mm. Therefore, it should be sealed with rubber. The best option for making PVC sheet walls is 5 mm.

We collect the display case, at the same time, so that the structure does not fall apart, each connecting element must be fixed with a screwdriver.

Showcase cage manufacturing

At the bottom of the cage we pile 10mm plywood. Glued with self-adhesive or laminate.

To protect the bottom, it is desirable to put plexiglas with a thickness of 3mm. Because no matter how good the coverage, but the shushiki can scratch it and go off the toilet.

We collect the cover of the storefront.

Anodised aluminum profile

The net is best used in a thickness of not less than 0.9 mm. The size of the cell is 25x12mm. The edges of the grid bend at 90 degrees and insert into the groove. After the lid is ready, it can be installed in the display case.

We install the corners to fix the shelves. The distance between the shelves is 20 - 25 cm.

At the last stage we install doors from 5mm. Glass.
