Show the cage before it is built.
Type four sides and a height. Cage Designer Pro builds the cage in 3D on a house with a pool and makes renderings you can put in front of the homeowner.

What it does
- Builds the cage in 3D from the sizes you type: mansard, half mansard and more.
- Not four-sided? Draw the deck.
- Pick the roof, the front wall, the side walls and the colour, and watch the cage change.
- Makes four renderings of the cage from the yard side and saves them on the job.
- The renderings go straight onto the proposal for that job.
- When you add 3D to a job, it is locked to that job's size and shape from the estimate. You can still change the roof design, doors, screens and options. To change the size or shape later, buy 3D again for that job or email [email protected].

What it draws
Pictures made by the Designer itself.
Why it is different
The picture is built from real cage members, not painted.
Every post, beam and purlin in the picture is a piece the Designer placed by the same building rules a cage crew follows. It counts the pieces as it goes.
How it fits
Cage Designer Pro works on the same job as the Estimator and the proposal. Open it from the job, show the homeowner, and the pictures are already where the proposal needs them.
What it is not
A rendering is a sales picture. It is not an engineered drawing, a permit set or a shop cut sheet. Engineering, permitting and field verification stay with the contractor and the contractor's engineer.
