I have only the "original" cage, but I found this answer from someone who previously asked a similar question about removing the grate between the two cages: "I am assuming that this question refers to the the grate between the two sections on the Double unit. That could be removed without creating any escape hatches. The grate rests in small holes in the side and back panels, so it could be readily removed. I am not sure how much support the grate lends to the whole unit, so a little reinforcing for stability might be desired. If referring to the bottom grate on the bottom unit, no. The trays rest on the grate and obviously that would just leave the whole thing wide open."

Yes, it is a separate metal rod which can be completely removed/not used leaving only the soft mesh organizer.

Very easy, you can actually unscrewed cage slip off each parts and clean each parts. That was a pleasant surprise to me.

I've never tried to combine units before, but I'm going to say, based on the construction, that it could be done with a bit of ingenuity. The top is actually screwed in to the four sides of the unit, so taking off the top actually compromises the entire structure unless you have something to replace it with.

Absolutely yes, very simple. I actually removed the top tier and only use the lower tier for now. When I need more hanging space, then I install the top tier back on. It takes only a minute to put that in. I also own a one-tier but find the two-tier rack a lot more convenient. In fact, getting the one-tier made me purchased the two-tier. Can't live without it now!!!!!!!!!!!

The unit is fairly wide and deep. There might not be enough space to acccomodate the units and all the wires for more than one unit. I have them installed in 2 gang boxes.

No. These are 2 cages stacked top to bottom with a closeable hatch on the bottom of the top cage. You can actually separate them and use them as 2 stand-alone cages (we moved our pet this way when we moved...)

You could do that. There are holes in the back of the unit. Vent holes for the air to pass through to the sensors, a lot of them. Space for wire to be sewn through and then tied off to a wire cage. Good luck!

Because of the way each panel connects to each other it would be difficult but not impossible. If you are handy you could put them back to back and remove the top rear panel of each to create a very large section. You would have to wire the sections together on the sides. It would not be easy but it would be possible. This is a very large cage to start with. I have 6 parakeets with room for 8 to 10 more.

Yes, with no problem at all. It is a little heavy. The floor tray pulls out so you have the cage and the tray.

Kenebob, I listened to the same radio show and am having the same question as you, even called Mid-West Wire Co. and the person I spoke with said they make a cage for someone local but it's two pieces and he doubted it is this one. I've had John Bagnasco from GL email the company in a reply to my inquiry and have never gotten an answer. Very frustrating. Have you figured out an answer for yourself?

Yes. The panels are removed, so if you remove the center panels, two can be put together to make additional room.

It is possible, but will require some handy work. The main bolt can be removed. You could remove the stand and thread the bolt through the cage. I believe they also make an X model of this specifically for that purpose.

you will need two pairs of heavy pliers to undo the connecting "hinges" and to reattach them afterwards. It won't be easy but can be done. The very good quality of this brand cage makes it a worthwhile endeavor!

yes, I bought 2 cages and there is a bar that comes off and you can attach them together!!

Yes! with a minor alteration! there is a case over the unit you will need to remove depending on the year of the machine. No need to worry it is very easy and it took me all of 2 minuets maybe?.

Absolutely. I bought this to replace my through-wall unit (that was similar in size). I just slid my old one out and slid this one into the existing cage. Then, I sealed between the interior wall and sides of this unit with silicone caulk or expanding foam (available in an aerosol can about the size of a can of hairspray). If you don't have an existing cage from your previous unit, you can easily build a support deck under your wall opening. NOTE: Please remember that this unit (and your old one) are too heavy for you to safely remove and install by yourself. Get someone to help you.
