Often times it is just easier to buy a cage than go through the hassle of constructing one - especially if you're not handy with tools. Cages range greatly in prices and sizes, below are some I've used and been happy with.

Single KW Cage

Best used for: 1 or 2 pigs. I keep pregger pigs in them when I bring them into my room for baby monitoring. I only use these for temporary use, I don't like how small they are.

Price: This cage was around $40, and I've had it for about six years now

Durability/construction: It is welded wire with a steel tray that the wire cage top attaches to. The bottom pan is beginning to rust through, so I will need to get a new one soon.

Small animal cage

Best used for: 1, maybe 2 pigs. I also use this cage for preggo pigs (temporary use).

Price: Not sure...got this one with two pigs we rehomed a while back.

Durability/construction: This cage is okay, but the wire top tends to loosen up and might tilt a bit. I would not use this cage around dogs.

Stackable KW cages

Best used for: Depends on how many holes there are. I put adult per cage, or two per double (with pass through) cage. This style is very popular with breeders. I use these for breeding pairs or single boars.

Price: Well, these are a bit expensive. Each level was $50 without a pass-through, or $55 with.

Durability/construction: Super sturdy - which is why we got them. They are welded wire with steel pull-out trays. We still have the original set we started out with six years ago. However the pans do rust through after about 4 years, though you can paint them with pool paint and they will last forever. One thing - both me and my sister got cut on these one way or another when we first got them, and had to get stitches. They are sturdy, but they are metal and have some sharp edges on the outside - they are great, just don't climb on them :P
