Although really fancy cage design and construction is usually best left to specialists, such as metal workers, it isn’t that difficult to construct cages yourself. And in fact, it doesn’t have to be really expensive either.
One clever thing to do is to spend some time looking around construction dump sites. What you will usually find there is lots and lots of steel, used to strengthen concrete. And actually all you need is is a piece of just that – about the size of an average door, a few ring hooks and four padlocks to make the perfect triangular standing cage. All you you is place the steel matting in a suitable corner of a room, drill a few holes, screw the rings in and lock the steel matting to it. This will provide you with a cage that makes your sub emain standing. She can’t sit down and she has to stay there. It is as simple as that. Paint the steel – either black or use Hammerite – and you’re there.
Another simple trick is to see if you can lay your hands on some scaffolding material – basically nothing else but strong pipes and joints – that you can easily bolt together in almost any required shape or form. In fact, scaffolding material is very versatile, because it reusable and can easily be (re)assembled into whatever you fancy: a cage, a very sturdy bondage rack or a cross for example.
Again, a few cans of spray paint of a tin of Hammerite will help you paint your material in appealing colors. Scaffolding material, since it has been designed to hold the weight of quite a few people – and even under rough circumstances – form any safety point of view is great and it will also allow you to construct something as fancy as a safe hanging cage.
Finally, another relatively simple method is to again go on a scavenger hunt and see if you can find used steel window bar frames. Alternatively, you may want to try components of used fancy iron garden fences. These too can usually be bolted together quite easily and will enable you to build a useful punishment cage, i.e. a small one – not one that she can stay in for any length of time or on a regular basis.
A Story by Nienke on Cage Life
My name is Nienke. I live in the Netherlands. I am a full time (24/7 as Internet people like to call it) slave. And I HATE the cage. Unfortunately I spend a lot of time in it, because Master uses it as a means to correct and improve my behavior.
Master has a very simple punishment system for me. If I do not behave well, I’ll be locked in the cage – usually with extra discomfort or pain, and I will be in there for 24 hours without food or anything to drink, no toilet facilities and no relief. It is that simple and I have learned to try and avoid this the hard way!
My cage is first of all very small, only little over a meter high, wide and deep. Americans would measure that as 4 feet high, deep and wide. In cannot stand in it, nor can a lay down with my back and my legs straight. There is very little comfort there, just some thin foam floor covering and a blanket, that is all. I will be left in there with no or very little attention, usually no light, nothing to distract my mind and often cuffed, chained or tied. There is nothing I can do when I am locked in the cage, just wait until my time is up. Usually I will try to sleep as much as I can, but due to the fact that the cage is small, that often will not really work. And that of course is the general idea.
Besides, the cage in in our basement, where is is cold and I will be in there naked. No fun!!!
I cannot pee when locked in there so I will have to hold it. If I do, I’ll spend even more time in the cage, in my own dirt, which of course I must clean afterwards. I am not allowed to eat or drink, since that would be a distraction from the only purpose of the cage, which is to make sure I am bored to death and cannot think about anything else but how I got in there and how I can make sure I will not make the same mistake again. I can assure you that is a VERY effective way to teach me how to behave.
People often ask me if I don’t consider this type of punishment to be too cruel. My answer always is that I am first of all not to judge Master’s punishments. But no, I do not think it is too cruel. The idea is that a punishment should be a real punishment. Something I will try to avoid at all cost. That is why it is so effective. I cannot understand these “play” punishments that people talk about. If I am to be punished of course it should be no fun at all (since that would only make me try to do whatever caused this “punishment” again, so I can have even more fun. No, punishment is punishment and the cage certainly is an effective one.
