Frequently Asked Questions

Question:  Who designs your cages/rings?
 
Answer:  I personally design all of the products I sell.  I refuse to use a design that almost EVERYONE in the industry is using.  I designed our cages and rings to be stronger than anything else on the market.  This is why more and more companies are starting to do what we do.  We were the first to use a slot groove, color coded system.  Almost everyone has gone to using this now.  Unlike everyone else in the industry, we use brackets and tension bands on ALL 4 sides of our cage panels.  Everyone else uses ties wraps on the top and bottom of the frame which makes their panels weaker over time and not easily adjusted.  In addition to all of that, I've now designed upgrades that are patent pending and far beyond what everyone else in the industry is offering today.  These are offered not as extras but as a STANDARD for all of our products now. 
 
Question:  What makes your rings and cages different than anyone else's?
 
Answer:  Our rings and cages are designed to use higher gauges of steel and heavier vinyl than anyone else's in the industry.  Our floor joists are 16 to 18 inches apart as compared to everyone else's 3-4 ft apart making our cages the strongest out there.  We offer wood flooring, a 2nd door, ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT SETTINGS and camera stands as a STANDARD on all of our cages.  Our rings also have the adjustable height settings on both wrestling and boxing rings.  We also offer a warranty on your steel and welding.  Our cage frames are built to handle both sturdifloor or 2x12 planks at no additional charge. 
 
Question:  How long will it take for you to build my ring or cage?
 
Answer:  To be honest, it all depends on how many orders are in front of yours.  We can usually have a full size competition cage built within a week or two from the time we start on it.  So it all boils down to how many people are in front of you.  We will do rush orders as well at extra cost.
 
Question:  How do I order a ring or a cage?
 
Answer:  Email or call me and I will help you determine the size of ring/cage you need and what extras you want, if any, as well as the colors for all of your vinyl covers and corner pads.  We accept checks, credit cards, paypal and offer financing as well.  If you are picking your product up, all that is needed is 75% of the total amount as a deposit and the remainder upon pickup.  If you are shipping your cage, we do require the full amount up front so when the order is finished we can get it loaded and shipped out immediately.
 
Question:  How much does it cost to ship my item?
 
Answer:  Shipping costs are decided by the shipping company.  We do not charge anything for shipping ourselves nor do we make anything off of shipping.  We also do not charge a handling/loading fee.  Shipping prices can be as low as 100 dollars and we've seen them as high as 2000 in the past depending on where the item is shipping to.  It's always more expensive to ship to a residence than it is to a business.  Before you order your item, we'll gladly get you a shipping quote which will not change much from time of order to time of shipping.  When the item is picked up at our shop we will provide you with tracking information.  It is also important to examine your item when it arrives and anything that looks damaged in shipping should be brought to the driver's attention and a claim will need to be filed with the shipping company immediately.  We are not responsible for any damage sustained during shipping.
 
Question:  Do you offer setup and delivery?
 
Answer:  Yes we do offer setup and delivery.  We do reserve the right to limit the distance we will offer this service.  This is solely dependent upon distance and how busy we are at the time.
 
Question:  Do you offer rentals?
 
Answer:  Yes we do offer rentals.  We offer a dual height setting 18 ft wrestling ring as well as a 20 ft hexagon cage that is also a dual height setting.  This service is also solely dependent upon distance and our workload at the time.
 
Question:  What is the difference in your wood flooring options?
 
Answer:  We offer Sturdifloor and 2x12 planks.  Sturdifloor is a 3/4" tongue and groove OSB.  This is what builders are using in place of plywood on house floors and roofs.  2x12 planks are just that, 2x12 boards.  A lot of people want to know which they should go with.  It's all personal preference.  If you are looking at holding a lot of events or renting your cage/ring out frequently, you may want to look at using 2x12 planks.  Breaking down and setting up your cage frequently runs the risk of breaking the tongue or groove on your sturdifloor which can make setup difficult.  If this is a cage/ring that will be in the gym and not really moved around a lot or if you are looking at only holding a few events a year, sturdifloor will work fine for you.  Our frames are built for either type of wood.  If you want to use sturdifloor and switch out to planks later on, you can do that without a problem.
 
Question:  Do you offer specials and discounts?
 
Answer:  Yes we do offer specials and discounts.  In the past we have offered money savings or we have offered steps and ring skirts for free etc...  All depends on the special we are running at the time.  Sometimes we give you the option of which special you want, money off or extra product so you can decide what will suit  you better.
 
Question:  Do you sponsor fighters and fight teams?
 
Answer:  Yes we do.  We have sponsored fighters individually, gyms, fight teams and helped sponsor events.  Some of our fighters and gyms we have sponsored:  Joe Wilk (Strikeforce) we are sponsoring his gym with equipment, Fred Ettish (UFC 2) with equipment and gear, Curtis Stout (UFC/Cage Rage), Deryck Ripley, The Platypus Josh Pulsifer, Jireh Cycle Fight Series, Capital City Combat etc...  If you are looking for sponsorship, email me and let me know a little about you and what it is you are looking for.  I spent years in the sport competing, teaching and promoting and it is VERY important to me to continue to give back to the sport in any way I can.
 
Question:  Can you do custom projects?
 
Answer:  I am more than happy to listen to any project you are thinking about.  We may have already built something like it in the past.  Feel free to ask about custom orders and I'm happy to help in anyway I can.
 
Question:  Will you come to my school and help me plan out what I need?
 
Answer:  This honestly all depends on my workload at that given time.  A lot of times we can figure things out via drawings as long as you have accurate measurements of your gym layout.
