Cheaper??? aluminum dog box
Posted: Sat Jan 19, 2013 10:01 pm
I just finished a new aluminum/wood dog box. I've been wanting one for years but can't weld or afford to pay for a custom built one. I bought a 48'' x48'' piece of diamond plate for the roof, then had Pacific Steel take a 48x96'' sheet, cut it in half and bend it to my measurements.
I used the wood frame from my old box.(2x2 and 2x4 construction, treated plywood bottom)
I wrapped it with the new aluminum skin, I used roofing screws to hold aluminum to the frame. I cut the doors and windows with a jig saw.
All the aluminum, bending and cutting came to 375.00
the wood, latches and hinges were about 50.00
