Can you help me build a cage for a MMA style ring?

Question

I want to build a MMA styled-ring with a cage around it to contain the fighters and to be sturdy. I was just wondering how the cage would be made. I am going to go to my local fencing provider to get an estimate, but in the meantime am looking for a cheaper method. Is there any way I could build an 8' high, 9' long cage panel? I need 8. I am looking to spend under 2,000 for it. Thanks!

Answer 1

they sell some online that you can assemble, but i dont know how much they cost.  I dont know why you would need one unless you run your own mma gym

Answer 2

While not at all a fan of cagged battles, even for entertainment, I suspect for strength yet some flex, as to not send every contestant to ICU, Chain link fence would work.

   In my area chain link is approx. $1 per foot at 4 ft. widths on a 50 ft. roll. To my knowledge Link is also sold at 6 ft. widths, but I have no clue about 8 ft. I assume with some finessing, you could double the 4 ft.

   Again, not a fan, but hopefully you'll include some fabrication of post padding.
