Building a custom enclosure is easier than you would think, and saves a lot of money.
Depending on whether you are handy with tools or not, building a really large enclosure can take a couple afternoons, or a week or more. I don't consider myself to be a carpenter, but I can build one, and have also built a 8x8 ft outdoor enclosure for my blackthroat monitor by myself. That's with a power saw and a cordless drill. All supplies came from Home Depot and it took about 3-4 afternoons(only a couple hours at a time, since it was over 95F outside!!).
I think you should totally build one, since you can make a huge cage that fits exactly where you want it to.
Just a suggestion MEASURE your doors, or build it in place! Nothing worse than building the perfect cage and then not being able to get it through the door!

new cage

The best thing you can keep ackies in is a metal water trough (the thing horses drink out of). You can buy them from almost any where and there only like 80 bucks then you buy plexi to cover it, cut the plexi in 3, drill, add hinges the 2 ends will open, you can trim the plexi so it hangs over the edge about 1 inch then drill a hole on each side and yse a bungee to hold it closed to the bottom, the middle piece of plexi and screw a piece of wood to the outside srong enough to support the lamp and the rest is up to you. Email me if you need anything rpeteroy.

I've never bought building supplies online. I get them from local hardware stores. I used an aquarium sealant once, and a non-toxic window sealant the other time.
Fixtures depend on what you are putting into it, but I bought the strip lighting from the hardware store, and most lighting fixtures can be found there.
Congrats on building and hope to see pics when you're done.
