I made a crate for puppy! He keeps outgrowing the ones we bought, so I made a large one out of his playpen panels that should be big enough until he’s fully grown.

The floor is a sheet of plywood. I put vinyl wrap on it for waterproofing (turns out it’s too fragile, by the time I made the rest I made a couple of tears).

For the top, I made a lip out of PSE wood (I think 25mm), to give more rigidity and allow fitting a hinged top.

Cabin hooks for the door, but they turned out to be too loose, so I added a Brenton bolt.

Puppy likes it, so overall a success!

    Oh, I didn’t realize it was symbiotic. When do they take you for your walk and let you eat?

      Both organisms in a symbiotic relationship can get different things from the relationship

      When I see posts like this though, where a pet like a dog is put in a cage instead of being allowed free roam at least of the house, it makes me very sad.
