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?

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

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.
