Well here is a start for you. I just built two cages that stack on each other. I built light boxes inside them. The hardwire cloth that i used to protect the lights is a 1/4" mesh and toes are pretty safe from it. What you have to worry about, is stuff like chicken wire, where the wires are twisted together. Also.. you will see that one of the holes on the light box has mesh that sticks out. This is for a compact fluorescent bulb, which will protrude through the hole, toward the floor.
