Small Pet - Quick Kennel

With a few lengths of CPVC pipe and some chicken-wire, you can build a fenced area for your small pet.  It can be placed in the garage, the basement, the yard, or anywhere else you may need a doggie-playpen.  It can also be disassembled and stored if you only glue part of the ends and clip the ties.

I would not recommend this project for any pet that digs under fences, jumps over fences, chews aggressively, or is big enough to just knock the kennel down.  This is for small timid animals that would be too scared of the fencing to try and escape.

Step 1 Cut your pipe

You will need eight pieces of pipe for the horizontal sides of the frame and 4 vertical side bars.  I used 3/4-inch CPVC for this project.  I purchased eight 10-foot sections and cut 2-feet off of each one.  A hack-saw works just fine for cutting the pipe.

Cut eight 1-inch pieces from one of the short sections to use for the corner joints.

I don't think any cage can contain a ferret for very long................I've seen them "play" before.
