I'm am interested in opinions on wood vs square tubing and pvc for cages. I understand tubing has to be welded  Any pro's or con's?

square tubing (metal) is heavy but will last forever. Pvc that's uv resistant will last a long time, is faster to assemble, less high wind resistant. Wood would need to be treated wood, not as sanitary as pvc or metal. Price is consideration as well as how good a welder you are.
Good luck with your construction.
