Rafiki, the wire did come from Home Depto and the pressure treated wood is from Carter Jones lumber , my contractor friend built it and he must not have had any problems working with the wire , the enclosure was framed in a afternoon and the next day he wired it and was gone at noontime, contractors usually give free estimates and will work with you for your custom enclosure, also my Savannah breeder , Stacee Dallas just put in her third enclosure and she has a video of it on her FB page and maybe you can get some more ideas from her, I did. I know you have been planning a outdoor enclosure for some time now and I know you will come up with a good one and your cat will LOVE it !!!
