Hello all,

A *very* long time since I last posted. Looking for your collective expert opinions...

I'm based in SE London and may well buy a cage in the next month or so. I would be going for sturdy bars as opposed to a fold-away thinner cage sold at pet shops.

Fettered Pleasures is still trading after their Holloway Rd store shut, but only through their online store. Their cages have been popular in the past: http://fetteredpleasures.com/product/dungeon_equ.... I've also built some custom suspension equipment with Playpenz in Essex last year and may well give them a call again. Dungeon equipment in Birmingham are good and made the kit for Crimson but the distance factor is prohibitive.

Have there been any other places around South East UK where you've bought cages you've been pleased with? Many thanks for your recommendations/experiences.

PS I don't check IC all that often any more so apologies if you don't receive instant replies.

German shep dog cages are awesome and fold flat. my large human cage was made by a local blacksmith as was able to make it to my specs. I find its often expensive to buy them online as the postage is often a large cost itself.

http://www.dungeonequipment.co.uk I have purchased from and is not to far away from you, the make stuff really well to last.

Any particular reason that it has to be in the south east?

Ours are flat packed and shipped direct to your door.

I have seen superb quality large dog cages in various pet store outlets for £100 to £150. Ebay has some for as little as £30.

They are good quality, large amd fold flat.

Why would anyone pay extra over £500 plus postage for a so-called fetish one?

Far be it for me to suggest that there is ittle comparison between a pet shop / e-bay cage and ones on the market for £500 plus I can only say that its a matter of quality I know its easy to knock companies that make fetish products but unlike many hobby makers we not only have staff wages but tax and god help us vat to pay and unlike many hobby builders we dont get support from the goverment by way of the DWP so speaking for the professional companies out there what we offer and what my fellow makers offer is a quality product made by craftsmen and not by Chinese wire benders and speaking personaly I would not consider over 450 cage buying clients this year alone to fall into the catogory of "one born every minute" but more like serious players looking for a quality product form serious makers

Quite a narrow minded response. I know several Domme's who have this type of equipment, you get what you pay for and thats impressive, sturdy, lasting equipment with a touch of class and menace to them. Nothing whatsoever wrong with getting a cheaper version (I had one myself), but thats no reason to stamp yer little feet.

I wouldn't go for a fold away one again. It's better going smaller and finding somewhere to conceal it if you don't have the play space.

I am not stamping my little feet - actually, they are quite large.

Have an opinion about something, fair enough. Being patronising to someone with a different view is another matter.

My view stands.
