Them ol'big dogs of your's can eat a hole in that.lol Its fine I put that small 2x4 welded wire so I can haul pups if I need to!! But if them dogs of mine tear it up ill put cattle panel in it later! LolTitle: Re: New Dog Box..Poor Boy Special!! Post by: Shotgun wg on December 28, 2012, 10:26:48 am That looks like it will work to me. Here's the one I built. Total cost about $100. I do have a welder so it helped. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/29/eqevupam.jpg)(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/29/6u8evesa.jpg)
I made it so I could use in truck and wheeler. My truck has side mount tool boxes so I had to make it a lil narrow for wheeler. Holds 4 dogs comfortable. Title: Re: New Dog Box..Poor Boy Special!! Post by: MrsLouisianaHogDog on December 28, 2012, 10:33:44 am Looks good! I couldn't house any of my bulldogs or Patts in somethin like that though, they's likely chew through it, lol. I'd imagine some curs or hounds would fare just fine in that though!

U used what u had and it works so job well done. If u wasn't a po boy I bet u like me would have one of those $500 aluminum top storage with fans and all that good stuff.

I have built some po-boy boxes too. Those barrell latches came undone on me and the doors came open on the highway. I got lucky a couple times, and didn't loose any dogs. Have fun hunting, and good luck. |
