Re: Suggestions wanted for security light cage

Hello @nd 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about a security light cage.

 

I'm sorry but Bunnings currently doesn't stock a security light cage. But I've passed your feedback on to our merchandise team.

 

However, it is possible to recreate the cage using RapidMesh 900 x 1200mm 50 x 50mm Silver Wire Mesh Panel. I suggest measuring the light assembly first, then cutting the mesh to the proper size. I've sketched up a sample diagram to give you an idea of how to create the cage. The joins of the cage can be secured using Jack Flat Aviary Clips along with Jack Aviary Clip Pliers

 

In order to mount the cage, I suggest using RapidFence Roll Top Wire Mesh Fence U Clips And Teck Screws

 

Let me call on our experienced members @TedBear and @JoeAzza for their recommendations.

 

Please remember to wear personal protection such as gloves and goggles when assembling the cage.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

 

Eric

Hi @nd, Making your own as suggested by @EricL might be the way to go, Bunnings also sell these rock cages that can be modified to your requirements, it should be robust to resist some vandalism. Depending on size requirements you could try security camera suppliers too.

Morning @nd

I'm sure you googled - but there are literally hundreds of designs available on the net - with some companies manufacturing to your specific dimensions.

@EricL's origami lesson above will work, but you won't have the finish and the overall thicker diameter steel to beat thugs, vandals and thieves with steel bars.

Re: Suggestions wanted for security light cage

Thank you @EricL  I will work on this. Main Reason I want cage is because my son practices basketball in the backyard and he has already knocked off 2 sets of lights :smile: hence the requirement.
