Halo Style Roll cages F.A.O. Parrot

[ScottieJ]

Parrot & I were talking about 'Halo' style cages the other week and whether or not we thought they were a good design to use for a cage.

I think if you did one like this I would trust it a lot more than the usual style without the B-hoop.

What do you think Parrot?









This is the type of 'Halo' design Cage without a B-hoop that I'm not sure I would like to trust in a bad roll over.







What are other peoples opinions on halo style cages?

They look more side impact that rolls. Im guessing that its a complete hoop above your head with legs?

yea the top one is how i would like mine,the other one is ok but for me i would want brace's on the top of the uprights and they both could do with cross basrs to help take the load of a big roll

much better and stronger like this.
To get the same strength from a halo you would need a double triangulated B pillers.
IMO of course

i take it when you say double triangulated B pillers you mean the cross in the b pillers like what i said above

Sorry i meant A pillers.

You realy do need a full b hoop with at least one diagnal and if you go for a halo on the front half the it should realy have double A pillers ie a normal raked + one upright as the time a front halo will fail is doing a front endo. You should also have atleast one diag in the roof section. A cental strait roof bar does nothing.

Double a pillers like this woyld be needed to get the same strength as a A hoop or one piece side rails.
If you look at the pic i posted above with carfull placing of the front cross bar then you can get the look of a halo with the strength of one piece side rails or A hoop.

i was thinking it was how you said it was 2 a pillers each side.
