What is the life expectancy?
With indoor storage (over the winter months), you should be able to use and re-use your cage for 7-10 years or longer. How firmly does the cage stay in place? Each bottom joint has a flange and a hole for a stake to be driven through. All stakes (included with parts) have a feathered shaft that will keep the unit firmly in place. It is recommended, when disassembling the unit, that you first pull the stake out.
