Since the 2 labs go almost eveywhere I go I needed a kennel to take them with me. I contemplated a kennel made in the US as well as here in the Netherlands, but in the end decided to build one myself. Here is the result:
Because we have a wet climate I made some covers to prevent reain entering the kennel all too easy. When the dogs are with me one is used:
When they aren´t traveling with me both openings can be covered:

Re: Made my own dog kennel
Looks great FordJW. Whats it made of I cant quite tell, I would think its made of wood to keep it light. Gotta say our dogs go great with our trucks. Thats always a sight when I come out of a store and my dog is excited that Im back hoping all around in the bed. I like the flap that covers the doors good thinking on that one.

Re: Made my own dog kennel
Thanks. It is made of a water resistant kind of plywood, all in all still heavy, but it can be removed with 2 people.
I like to take the dogs with me lose in the bed, and the dogs prefer it that way too, but regulations prevent me from driving in public like that.
