does anyone know the gauge of the metal? I want to know if it's one of those flimsy ones or if it's one of those very sturdy ones.

We have had this for about a year now and still love it. It is very sturdy, easy to put together and clean. I would recommend this all day long.

I don't know the actual gauge of the bars, but it is sturdy. My only real issue with it is that the stand gets a little loose from time to time. I've even got a wheel zip-tied to the bars and don't hear anything when the sugar gliders run on it.

Can't tell you the gauge but we have had this almost one year and it is great. We take it inside and outside. Very good rollers. Sections inside are easy to change around. The only thing I would say that could improve is the little window cages for food, our bird figured out how to open it so we had to get little clips to keep it shut. Metal is very very strong.

I wouldn't rate it at either extreme - more along the lines of in the middle gauge - it is sturdy enough to hold any bird I can think of. The only issue I have with it is the way it sits on the stand - not secure and prone to tip over

Not sure the gauge but have not had a problem with them bending or rusting. I have bought other plant signs similar at a gardening store, and they are the same...

It is very solid. Heavier than most because it is one solid piece of metal. I love mine. A bunch of my friends now have one after testing mine.

I am not sure as to the exact gauge on the pot. However, it seems pretty durable, but I would say that it could use a little more thickness. I don't think it should have issues with bending etc, but over time I could see some issues.

Im not sure the actual gauge but it is very sturdy and the same quality that I have used while working in restaurants.

Id describe it as very rigid heavy duty rubber. It's not flimsy whatsoever. Very solid and sturdy.

It was plastic, very flimsy. I returned the item and got a stainless steel from local hardware store.

This one is metal, with about 1" open squares (ones with a similar name seem to be a light wire mesh). It is very sturdy.

I do not recall mentioning the gauge of the stainless in my review. All of the stainless steel parts are durable and not prone to deformation. I have moved the vent off the wall twice to paint and trim with no damage or issues.

The thickness of the steel is as the specs say. I can tell you it feels heavy duty all the way around, it's not flimsy or weak at all. It's a solid piece of steel.

Its pretty thin. The shelves themselves are not metal. They are some kind of composite fiber or maybe plastic. It might be a 16th of an inch (which I guess would make it a 16 guage.

It is not sturdy. There is no quality control on the manufacturing. You may get a good one, you may get one that breaks within a few days (like ours).

I cant tell you the exact gauge of the crate; However, what I can tell you is that it is not a high enough gauge or strong enough material to handle anything too rough. That being said, I have two Dobermans who really want out of the cages and i have no worries about them escaping. the cage feels a little flimsy during set up but stands solid and secure. For the money you cannot beat it, as the comparable cages are double and triple the price, if you have amazon prime this is an especially good deal as the shipping on all the other cages is $50+. Although the overall design of the cage would have benefited substantially from a stronger thicker steal it is sufficient and economical.

You have to look at how its rated. However, it's metal and very heavy duty and the bracing is pretty good. Might have to limit it to sleep if you get my meaning.

Hi, I bought this couple of months ago and I liked it... coming to the question of metal, it is not solid. it is hallow but good enough to hold the weight. Not like that would bend or get dented... hope this clarifies

Hi Brian, I want to say they are 12 gauge, but not exact. I do know they are nice and long and very sturdy. Not flimsy at all. I am on my second box of a thousand. My customers prefer them over the ones they grab at Lowe's. I hope that helps.

I don't know the guage or quality of the metal. The pads are more like covers, same material as a leaf tarp, and simply cover the springs. We have had ours now for almost a year and it has worked great! The pads/cover work sufficiently well to protect the kids and me from the springs. And the whole thing is holding up great. A whole lot of fun!
