For my templates I got some white Bristol board from dollar store, and with a super fine sharpie,scissors,and ruler made them

For my panel material I'm using 11.5"x19" blueprint binders
You can get at Staples/Office Depot

It's heavy 1/16" plastic, I figure it will work great for panels..

Using my templates, I traced and cut out panels

Once cut out, I fit them up to see if any trimming was needed..

Nice job.
 
It's always great to see things being used in ways that hey weren't meant to be!
 
Right on thanks guys! I was at work throwing out blueprints and it hit me that the plastic from the large binders would be great for cage panel material lol
So with a little time and about $15 in fasteners, Bam new panels lol

There panels mounted...

I would think these would hold up fairly well too but would love to hear your about your experience after you've ran it for a while.
 
Please post some after pics so we can see some dirt on your panels after some use.

I'm not wearing any pants and when I go out in public people call me Ma'am. I wonder why?
