Custom Cage Works builds
a variety of Aviaries for all occasions. In this category we include all
large outdoor structures, whether designed for birds, squirrels, monkeys
etc. Most of these projects are one of a kind, designed for a specific
location and use. These can be a small backyard patio cage for pet birds,
to large breeding facilities for larger animals. Some, however, are standard
cages, which we build on a regular basis. The pictures in this section
include examples of some of our custom projects and some of our regular
products. Hopefully, you will see something that will inspire your thoughts.
If so, call us with details or fax or e-mail us a simple drawing so we
can quote the job for you.

Custom
Cage Works has developed a clamp that allows standard size or custom built
aviary panels to be easily assembled anywhere. It used to be necessary
to build a large aviary or breeding facility on location, or to be content
with one small enough to be hauled on a flat bed trailer. The freight
was so high that it made most projects impossible. Now, with the advent
of the new clamp kit, panels can be built that can be assembled upon arrival.
Virtually any aviary or breeding facility can be built in our factory,
in component form, shipped reasonably, and assembled upon arrival. With
this clamp kit no tools are needed and Parrots and Primates cannot disassemble.
ABOUT OUR DESIGNS
We offer complete design consultation and engineering services on all
of our cages, but it is especially important in the case of an aviary,
or other large and valuable structures.
Many of our designs are a collaboration of the customers ideas and our
input.
Once a design is agreed upon, we go to work making a scale drawing of
the project, working out all of the details and design challenges, making
sure that when it is finished it will fit together smoothly. A welders
drawing is made, and a quote is computed.
ABOUT OUR PANELS
The panels are built out of 1"x1" triple galvanized steel tubing. When
all of the panels have been built, they are then preassembled to be sure
the design has no flaws and that when finished, it will be able to go
together quickly without unexpected difficulties. The approved panels
will then be powder-coated. After powder-coating, the panels are then
fitted with the wire that will be appropriate for the type of animal being
enclosed. For small birds, squirrels, and small monkeys it may be 1"x1/2"
PVC coated wire. For large hook-billed birds, and other chewing animals,
perhaps 3"x1/2" 12 gauge galvanized wire. For larger monkeys, raccoons,
coatis, etc. it may be necessary to use 2"x4" horse panel material in
9 or 6 gauge.
The wire is attached by means of self-tapping screws and special clips
manufactured by CCW, Inc. The result is a strong, professional panel which
will last for years, and be an integral part of a custom designed cage
that will suit the animal's and the care taker's needs for years to come.
ABOUT OUR CLAMP KITS
Here at Custom Cage Works we have designed and now manufacture the clamp
kits for a variety of applications. This is what makes it possible for
us to design and build such a great variety of enclosure styles and shapes.
These clamp kits make the assembly of the panels very strong, yet the
structure can be easily assembled and disassembled if necessary. We make
clamp kits that connect the panels at 90 degrees, 120 degrees, 135 degrees,
and 180 degrees. The kits include two clamp halves, a carriage bolt, and
a wing nut or a nylon lock nut. This makes it possible to assemble your
aviary with few or no tools. If you have a metal roof such as the Octagon
Aviaries, a few tools will be needed on the roof section.
Most of our structures receive a key-locking door handle on the exterior
door, while the interior doors are spring loaded and have pull handles.
