Building the Big Jungle Gym cage

Start by making the panels...
They're pretty simple really:

Cut 3/4" pvc into 2 lengths of 41 1/2"
and two lengths of 22 1/2"
and 3 lengths of 13 3/4".

The connectors are twoTs on top
two Ts on the bottom
and two 4-way crosses in the middle.

The trick to putting them together is to twist them in.
PVC can be pushed into a connector up to 1",
but I would suggest going in only 1/2" for now. You can
always tighten and straighten it up later -
once everything is together.

After you have made six panels,
your cage can start to take shape
by connecting the panels to each other with
corners and spacers.

Spacers are just 4 1/2" lengths of pvc that
connect panels to form the back walls.

Corners are just two forty-five degree angle connectors
joined by a 1 3/4" length of pvc
with two more pvc plugs in the ends.

You'll need to make nine sets of corners and
six 4 1/2" lengths of pvc to form your cage.

Go ahead and connect all the panels now.

Here's the shape you're looking for:

The frame with the front door.

Making the frame was easy.

Next we'll tackle the door...

For $19.95, I'd be happy to email you The Material List.
That would save you a lot of time - and isn't that worthwhile?
