hey,
don't worry, I will have the information on my site as soon as I start my new project (this weekend) I will take photos of all the steps I take and the technique I use to get that desert look. in the meen time though. I recommend looking at these sites.
http://www.geocities.com/tnstuttle/cage_info.htm this is a good site that shows you how to build a really nice cage, unfortuantly, it did not contain all the information I needed, but I did use there way in building the rock wall.
