# Creating a Birdcage

This article shows you how to create a birdcage on sloped ground. We use walls to allow us to measure the size of the bays. This process is easier than altering bay legs to get an even height. With this easy step-by-step process, you can do it in no time.

We have already dragged in a Sloped Wall and a Block.
