wire cage

Barred metal container

A wire cage is an enclosure made from metal wire, typically welded or woven into a mesh pattern.

Wire cages confine animals, protect equipment, or secure storage areas: The rabbit lived in a wire cage on the porch, a wire cage around the security camera.

The open construction allows visibility and airflow while maintaining containment.
