it looks real good. how much does it wiegh?

Good question and I'd have to do some math.  I would guess about 125 lbs.  I used light weight materials..took about 85' of 1" tubing, and about 1 & 1/4 sheets of 1/2" expanded metal.

That is crazy, I can only imagine that the mesh material helped it grab the wind the first go around.  It look way to heavy to blow out of anything but I have see that even large expanded metal has a huge amount of wind drag.  Really nice box!

You can't really see it in the picture, but there is a platform on top for bulldogs to stand.  It consisted of a cut rubber stall mat like from TSC.  That combined with the expanded metal drag was enough to flip it out the back I guess.

Were you able to use the Ranger bed-lock system to secure it?

No, I made my own systems out of all-thread, pipe, etc.  I had the locks ordered and was tired of waiting.  Saved some money too!

That's sharp! How tall is it? looks like it could be used for time out for the naughty kids. Evil

27" tall.
