This is a tad bit smaller than Tim's. This a trial of a new material that I found. Its Renabond, a sandwich of aluminun and plastic. It will be hung from the eves of my house where I found hooks for large ferns. I live in Georgia and fire ants are a real problem and hanging cages are my safest option here. I will finish screening and putting the fromt door on tomorow. I am sealing it up tight to raise baby klemmeri in.

I used Renabond for all sides. I only had a jigsaw so the cuts were not precise (square). A skillsaw with a small tooth blade would be perfect. Then I used 1/16 x 1 in aluminum angle to frame the outside corners. Next time I will have a little better design as I just through this one togeather without any pre thought. I am also using alum. screening for the front sides and back for plenty of ventilation. I will probaly put a pothos and sansevera plant in there as wellas lots of bamboo.
What y'all think??

I am not finished so please feel free to make sugestions.

Sincerely, Matthew Henry
