ILLUSTRATIVE BUILD PREVIEW

Build preview

The preview illustrates size, tunnel openings and material, trigger arrangement, centered crossbars, side weight bars, two escape rings with your chosen mounting, and wrap. Unspecified features use example geometry. Your selections and custom notes stay with your quote request; the shop confirms the final design.

Review build & request quote

Build choices are kept in this browser tab during your visit. Contact details are not included in that saved draft. When you send a quote request, the shop keeps the details needed to review it and follow up.

Specify frame & dimensions

The bare frame base is 12 inches. Finished height follows the wrap and is an estimate you can override. Target weight bands are typical ranges, not guarantees. The shop confirms final numbers with your quote.

Measurements are taken by inside diameter, and target weight is required. Everything else is optional; otherwise default values are provided. The required diameter is the inside diameter.

Choose a round-pot inside diameter (or enter your own below)

Size profilePot shapeA round pot uses one inside diameter. An oval pot uses a top ring and a bottom ring. Older two-diameter quotes stay on those two numbers.How the round diameter was measuredNew quotes use inside diameter. If an older quote says outside, choose Outside diameter and leave that number as written.Round-pot diameter (in) * Needed for quoteRound-pot diameter is the inside measurement, not the outside.A 42-inch inside pot is about 43.5 inches outside once it is wrapped. The outside figure next to height is an estimate and can run a bit higher. Numbers only, in inches. The round preview draws 34–46 inches.Top ring fitTop ring measurementLeave an older outside diameter as outside.Top ring diameter (in)Bottom ring fitBottom ring measurementBottom ring diameter (in)Measured top diameter (in)Some pots are ordered at one pair of diameters and also measured at another. This does not replace the ordered size.Measured bottom diameter (in)

Overall height (in)The bare frame base is 12 inches. Target finished height depends on the wrap and updates when the wrap changes. Height is custom: enter a number to override that target. 14 inches is available when requested and is not the default.

Estimated finished heightabout 12.75 inWrap is not chosen yet, so this uses normal wrap. The bare frame base is 12 inches. Normal wrap is 3/8 inch rubber on both sides (0.375 × 2), so a 12 inch bare frame finishes at about 12.75 inches. This is an estimate and updates from the selected wrap. Height is custom. Enter a number to override this target.

Estimated outside diameter—Enter the inside diameter. The estimate uses that number and the wrap. This is an estimate and can run a bit higher than the calculated figure.

Target finished weight (lb) * Needed for quoteThe target should land within about 5 pounds. Bands include 80–85, 90–95, 95–100, about 110, and 115–120. Typical ranges, not guarantees. The 3D preview does not calculate weight.Frame barFrame rebar is #5 (5/8 in) or #6 (3/4 in). A mixed pot can use both. #7 is not a frame choice.Where the frame bars differUse this when one pot is not a single bar size. #7 is still not a frame bar.Stanchion bar#7 can be used on a stanchion. The shop treats that as extra weight, not as the frame.Crossbar layoutTop and bottom, bottom only, or a top bar moved forward about 1.5 in so the lid flips inside the bridle.Top crossbar barBottom crossbar barIncludes 1/2 in stainless and 5/8 in stainless, and a 3/4 in bar when the crossbars are heavier than the frame.Weight-bar countOne or two bars.
