What’s the Difference Between DIY and Pro Builds?

🛠️ The choice between building your own cage and hiring a pro depends on your budget, time, and how permanent you want the setup to be.

Here’s how DIY and pro builds compare:

Feature DIY Build Pro Build
💸 Cost Lower — $900 to $2,500+ Higher — $3,500 to $6,500+
⏱️ Time Several hours to multiple weekends Usually done in 1–2 days
🧰 Skill Required Basic to advanced depending on design None — pro team handles everything
🎯 Customization Fully custom — but takes more planning Tailored to fit your space and needs
