Might want to consider hinges with removable pins. That way you can take the doors off. For a properly crate trained dog, their crate is their safe space and they may hang out in it even when they don't need to be contained, especially if that's where their bed is or where they're fed. It's also good for when you're first training and want to get them to go in voluntarily before advancing to closing the door.
@@tjanecki that might be a better idea. Although it wouldn't hurt to do both. Having the option to remove the door might be useful at times and hinges with removable pins aren't horribly expensive. Options are good. 😉
@tjanecki not exactly, sliding pocket doors that are like a regular double door cabinet let's say, once opened at a 90○ angle, you then push them backwards, which makes the door alignment with inside of the cabinet on either side.
Hi Anna, love your content! would be great if you could use metric measurements aswell especially on your website. All the projects seem to be in imperial
I wish I could do that easily for you, but we aren't offering that at this time. Here is a forum and resource that may be helpful! www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/forums/designing-and-using-plans/converting-plans-metric www.ana-white.com/2010/09/timber-lumber-sizes-metric-compared-against-dimensional www.ana-white.com/community-projects/metric-conversion-em-makes-home
Another thought, hinging the top would give you access to the dog from the top if need be. I realize that with an open bottom you could just pick it up if need be so not absolutely necessary.
Great plans. I like the use of rebar. I just watched a video that popped up after watching yours. I liked that one too, however copper piping was used for the bars. It was very pretty, but it made me think that the planet's copper tubing is best used for electricity and like uses. I not saying 1 version or channel is better than the other. I wanted to specify that rebar is a great choice and why. 💛💛💛

@@AnaWhiteDIY My 1/2 King Charles 1/2 Golden has destroyed 3 cages. She pulls the doors in with her claws. She is able to mangle the wires into a bent mess. I put her and my other dogs in the garage once, she destroyed the trim around the door. The door was metal and was only able to scrape the paint off of it. She also destroyed my RV when I left her (and my other dogs) (with air conditioning). She has separation anxiety. I can't re-home her because I'm her human and goes nuts when I'm not around her. I care more about her well being than replaceable items she destroys.
That's a great design, and easy on the wallet. Thank you Ana.
Thank you! There’s actually not a ton of of lumber there for how big this project is. The rebar was about $25, surprised at how affordable it was!
Hey Ana. Nice kennel and idea. People will use this.
Thank you, glad you like it!
Exactly what I needed. We just got a new dog!
YAY, how fun!
What a great design‼️ Thanks for sharing Ana ❣️
Thanks so much 😊
Ana, I love this design and I hope your dog does too! It's a dog's world don't you know! Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙂
Thank you! 😊

Was thinking the same. Maybe have the door swing the other way so that it could be latched open or attach a magnet? I'm only building a single crate.

@tjanecki or set up like an entertainment center where the doors can slide into the unit on either side, no chance of damage:)
@PuppyNutter3 hmmm, do you mean slide on a track on the bottom of the door?

It looks very cool, thanks, Ana.
Glad you like it!
I absolutely love this and wish I had the dimensions for a 49" wide x 29" deep x 31" tall.

Yes, it's pretty light weight! Thanks for watching.
Made one very similar with wood frame doors and my Vizsla scratched them so bad I have to remake them with metal angle iron.
Positively beautiful. The kennels not bad either. LOL 😊
😊 thank you

When using a random orbital sander you don't need to worry about sanding in the direction of the grain.
Great design
Glad you like it!

Welcome!
Where do you get the large plastic trays?
Petco or Amazon or petsmart
beautiful!
Thank you!
How much did it cost to make?

I love this!😊 so much more attractive than my wire one!😊
Thank you! 😊
Brilliant
Thank you for the visit!
Very good from Brasil
Thanks for watching!
I would have to beef this up to keep my dog in.
There are dogs that will require that, lol...
