I don't know how helpful I can be, because the only cages I have made have been in sets of 8, lol. But here it what I did.

Whole cage except for the top is built out of 1/2in wire. Top is tin,with side that are connected with rings, that allow for sides to eitherbe put down for bad weather, or up for nice weather. This is welded tothe cage wire. We then used metal stakes to get them up off the ground,and to help support the cage.

LOL, as I said, probably not that helpful. But the wire can be bought at Home Depot for $16 for 25ft.

You can build an indoor cage using Neat IdeaCubes and Coroplast. Seehttp://www.cavycages.com fordetails.

Oh yes, I guess I should have asked if it was aninside or outside hutch, lol. If it's inside, I would stick with theidea mambo mentioned.

I wouldn't usewood as it is harder to clean, and the urinesmell tends to stay on it. You can attach wire using J-clips.
