Just seeing this thread so I’ll have to check out the videos later when I get a chance.
I built all my cages out of schedule 80 pvc. They are really light and easy to move. I move my cages twice a day to keep them on fresh grass and cut down on feed costs. The pvc pens work so good, I’m going to build a big one for my broiler chickens.

just noticed this thread as well. Fun project!
i was in the rabbit biz for awhile when my kids did FFA, i think i was up to maybe 12 Californian does. I ran into three problems: 1) air conditioning is generally needed to get them to breed in time for show season- not an issue for you. 2) my kids and wife never really loved the meat that much. they didn't object to the flavor but the sharp bones are different from chicken and they never really got on board. 3) the cost of feed.. i was on the hook for lots of bags of fairly expensive pellets. If you have a good source of alfalfa and maybe a wholesale hookup for pellets you can keep costs down. Otherwise i found it not nearly as economical as pigs or chickens.
Bottom line, if your wife thinks it's a good thing, keep it up!
Good luck!
