I'm just finalising my plans for a new cage and I just wanted to ask for everyone's opinion of which of the following set ups will make the cage most sturdy? I'm leaning towards the 2nd one but I just wanted to ask all the fellow DIY cage masters ;D

I would say the second one as well. But once you add the bottom piece, you will find that either of these setups are very sturdy.

third one is strongest because the longest, weaker direction is made shorter. second one will look better from the front though. will the second one be better for attaching the doors aswell?

Yea, that's why I'm leaning towards that one as I think it will look better & be easier to fit the doors. I just need to find mesh & lights and then start saving

Another question, how much space do you have between your shelves?
Is 30cm about right or less/more?
I have completely changed my mind this weekend about my new cage design and I'm trying to figure out measurements.

Between 30-40 centimeters is good. If you have a large running wheel you have to put that into the equation and figure out how and where it will fit.

I cant wait to see it ! I found the one you have now to be very well built, so I am anxious to see this new "improved and revised edition" model

id say the 3rd one is more do able because you have to think about the way that the wood is facing and how you are going to attach all the sides together if you see what im saying
