I think that's the first time I can remember ever seeing perches in the middle of the loft. Interesting.........

Then there was the confused chimp at the zoo. He was reading the Bible and Darwin's Origin of the Species. Couldn't figure out if he was his brother's keeper or his keeper's brother.

I don't have any plans, I used 1/2" OSB for the sides the dimensions are 8'x8'x8' that way I could use whole sheets. I used 2-4'x8' 5/8" OSB for the floor and a foundation made from 7- 2"x4"x8'. All the framing is done with about 20-2"x2"x8' lumber it is plenty strong! On the first one I used plywood gussets in all the corners but on the second one I didn't because I had 3" screws going through all the joints and then the wire itself acts as a gusset for the corners. Here are some more construction photos.







If you need plans let me know and I can probably draw you up some.
