Title: Re: Dog boxs Post by: charles on September 10, 2015, 01:11:23 pm build your boxes to YOUR dogs, not someone else. if you have big dogs, you need bigger boxes. when i built mine, i built it for my dogs, and ea box holds 2 dogs, but i could have built it 6" taller, but i wanted to try and load my wheeler atop of the box, which didn't work out anyway and now its to late to rebuild the the box. do it right the first time so you don't have to redo it later.
how many dogs do you plan on hauling at the same time? do they do well with each other in tight quarters? how many catch dogs do you plan on taking and do they do well with other dogs in tight quarters?

6x2.5 deck on top with 4 inch high railing and a 1x2x1 storage boxes on each side flush with top of the bed of truck. Measured to fit a '15 f-150. I'd post a pics but it's a very rough sketch for right now. Using 1x1x1/8 angle and 20ga. Smooth expanded metal along with some diamond plate. Gonna cost us about $450 to build Title: Re: Dog boxs Post by: Slim9797 on September 11, 2015, 06:31:40 pm (http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/11/fcf648392ffccd4087b2d802cb1a0009.jpg) made some minor adjustments to original plan. Had to do this 3D model to perfect scale for welding class. Lots of 1x1x.125 angle and expanded metal and some diamond plate steel. Me and buddy are building it, were considering rhino lining the whole thing rather than painting. (Top center box isn't enclosed because per law you have to be able to see out at least some of rear windshield)
