I've been wanting to do this since I built my trailer but, the mesh was the expensive part that prevented it happening; a few weeks ago, I saw an ad for black steel mesh (as opposed to gal) for $11 for a 8'x4' sheet, MEGA cheap by comparison so, I picked up 3...

Once I moved, a local fabrication shop was selling off seconds products (usable but, something went wrong in the gal process), again, at $11 for a 21' length... I'll take two...

A week later, my trailer FINALLY has cage sides... well, almost; everything is tacked but, then I ran out of welding wire & being in a small town, I can't pick up a new spool for a week...

Here's the progress so far...

Ironically over here.... that almost looks like what we use to catch bears when they wonder in town....... Ya I know in a big city.... ya cool story braa...
No, it has happened......

Mind you between us in our amateur kid/bear/kangaroo/dog/small mammal catching rigs.....
Landuse and his dailly stroll would out beat us in along shot..... compared to some of the things he showed us going to work........The lion and the elephant.... that was a cool shot there...... cant forget that one......
