Instructions

    • 1

      Choose a location for the fighting cage. The cages have a diameter of 32 feet and require an open space.

    • 2

      Find or purchase a fight cage blueprint. The blueprint includes specific instructions as to how to construct the cage.

    • 3

      Form an octagon base using plywood. Cut the sides at 22.5 degrees.

    • 4

      Frame an octagon around the base using three-way connectors and steel pipes. You will use these pipes to connect the vertical pipes. Put old tires under the plywood, which reduces the impact during fighting.

    • 5

      Place the steel pipes vertically into the three-way connector at points of the octagon. Each pipe has a height of 7 feet. Place another three-way connector at the top of each pipe.

    • 6

      Insert 12-foot steel pipes horizontally at the top of each vertical pipe. Two people should work together for this task. One person hooks a pipe while the other holds it up.

    • 7

      Apply the fencing material around the outside of the octagon. Put and fix the foam padding along the inside of the cage. Put a thick mat on the top of the plywood.
