just wondering if anyone has built their own plywood tool box and dog box, thanks

 

What is a dog box. Is it like a cardboard box that your throw your dog in the back of your bed. OR do you mean dog kennal.

 

dog box meaning you sleep in the back of the truck when your chick kicks you out?

 

You know a dog box...like when i park my truck i put it in my truck box.DUH

 

 

This



or this

 

Those are really only practical if you move your dogs around a lot.

I couldn't keep my dog locked up under a tool box, though. Just seems kinda cruel when I got a cab she can be in.

 

ummmm. you wouldn't want to use any sort of plywood due to the fact of warping and rotting from being outside, in the rain, or just being in the dampness of a garage. if your trying to save money i would just go with a plastic box or a better built aluminum diamond plated box. BUT in teh case you would like to use wood treated 2x4's and oil treated 1/2+ osb particle board would be your best bet. also build your lid with an angle and put shingles on it lol that would look pretty sharp and keep water from settling on it. now you've inspired me. I'm gonna build me one now.

 

Im not against dog cages, but those more like hotboxes to me.

 

i was wondering the same thing for my lab as i am always takin her with me and getting tired of my truck turning white. but then when i saw how much they were i am just gonna buy a kennel cover for the plastic kennel box and deal with takin loadin an unloadin it everytime i take the dog somewhere.

 

They are usually used for hauling hunting dogs to and from the field not for just hauling your dog around for fun. My grandpa made one out of wood but i dont have a pic of it.

 

here you guys go

 

How does a forum which claims to be country not know what a dog box is? lol

My papa built a tool box out of wood then stained and did an expoxy laminate over it. It looks really nice and fits perfect.

 

yeah that is what i was thinkin! i want to do the same tool box thing

 

I just use two plastic kennels from Petsmart. That way I can put them in or out and have my full toolbox. I just run a cable through them with a padlock if I'm worried about someone trying to lift them. Here's a crappy pic from above. It's dark out now so I can't get a good one.

yeah i was thinkin on that old greg (freakin hilarious video) but i havent made up my mind yet,

 

I think I would consider a permanent one if I had a Superduty with a long bed or something. Depending on where you live, they have camo neoprene covers for the plastic ones which your dogs will probably appreciate when it's a butt cold night and you're doing 70mph down the highway.

 

haha yeah, there are ALOT of **** dog hunters around here as they are reopening the use of dogs for cougar, bear, and any othe rkind of hunting you want to do, i know quite a few of the guys, many happen to drive toyotas, i have only seen one with a ranger, in fact, i was with another kid in a ranger, so we had a little meet at bk lol

 

ya wood ones will work n how do ppl not know what a dog box is?... wood will rot but its easy to replace it just weld a box with some conduit n screw plywood plenty of ppl do it...see it all the time in the woods

 

id love to get into c oon huntin but damn, dogs are EXPENSIVE. lol. cheapest good one is 500 round here if its been trained. pups rund 100+

 

they have that outdoor playwood called cdx or something like that, or marine plywood

yeah dogs are spensive lol
