	The floor of the cage is primarily composed of 2 sheets of ¾” Grade A Furniture Plywood. The floor of the cage is not connected to the walls, to allow a gap for ventilation.

	The floor of the cage is completely independent from the walls and roof. The floor is on 6x6 timber verticals and a 2x8 horizontal frame. The 2x8 frame is assembled with steel kick plates for added rigidity. The floor is at least 2 sheets of ¾” Grade AB Marine-Sealed Furniture Plywood, secured directly into the 2x8 frame. One full sheet of wood makes up each quadrant of the cage floor, giving a full 16’ x 16’ usable arena. Up to 2 additional layers of ¾” plywood can be added to the floor between events, and it is only once the floor has reached 4 layers thick that it is fully replaced.
