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!

The host of the crate:
I guess there are working breeds (hunting/herding/pest removal) so you’re right in a way.
Personally, I view it as a symbiotic relationship. To each their own.
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.
I feel like you might be a troll so I’m just gunna disengage
Or you just don’t have arguments lmao. They’re right about this and it hurts your feelings 🥺
Yep, I’m a big ol idiot that’s scared of being wrong on the internet. Not that i don’t want to waste my time with this argument that checks notes dogs are slaves.
The nomenclature is literally “owning a dog”. They eat what you feed them, get punished when they do something they’d do naturally, get bred, separated from their siblings and parents, kept in captivity sometimes their whole lives…
You just don’t want to admit that dogs are in fact slaves.
