depend how much money you want to take but you could take
Clear 1/4 inch Lexan.. it's clear Acrylic which is bullet-proof (in 3/8-1/2inch I guess). you could put a screen mesh (pvc coated) and a
"Lexan windows" so it would allow him to be to the fresh air/open-air when you lift the windows.
you could just do a frame with 2x4 and get plywood for the back and 1-2 side +bottom. and put lexan in front/top/1side

lexan is costy... Lucite is a cheaper brand acrylique with 1/8inch max ...

if you need 3D image just ask, I'll make you one.

Here is 3D picture of what you could do

The Frame: 30"x36"x72"




Frame + Back, top/bottom + right side in wood (melamine):





The Front + left side : Can be Cheap Lucite (Plexiglass 0.080 inch)




What I was thinking, is doing a "slot" in the front top and put a
sliding plexiglass windows inside and get some pvc screen outside
of the front. That way YOU control how much you open it.




sorry about cheap color, I did that fast.

Nice Desing. That's really cool how you did that..... I don't really understand the sliding plexiglass windows. I guess I would just have to see it in person.

well were you see the mesh in the last picture, when you cut a big square in the plexi, you can "glue/tape/screw" some mesh screen over the hole. but inside the cage, you put a piece of plexi
about 1.5 inch oversize on each side to cover the mesh.
you would need to make 2, 1/4 inch track on the left and the right
of the mesh so you could put some screw with a winged nut.

so you can slide that little "window" up and down.
I'll make a 3d pic tonight
