Those are good looking products.
I'm investigating building something like their AutoBox. It's a fairly simple fabrication, and can be done with hobbyists tools. It looks like their prices would permit economical self-made alternatives.
The kennel panel prices are good, and would be hard to beat without setting up a factory sized production line. The website doesn't give enough information for me to judge the quality of the kennel panels. I'll drop them a line, to see if I can fish out some information. Meanwhile, can you tell me the gauge of the wire and pipes?

Meanwhile, can you tell me the gauge of the wire and pipes? ummmm, nope  ask dan, he is the kennel man ;D ..he has thrown so many numbers etc at me i have no idea what gauge any of it is, but i would guess the mesh is at least 7gauge? it is very thick..nothing cheap at all about these kennels. i am very pleased with mine, they are wonderful, the roof brackets make attaching an esthetically pleasing roof very easy..heck if *i* can do it, anyone can. just be sure you secure your gate panels when you move them..it hurts like crazy if you slam your finger in one...  i know gayle at kirchenwald (sp?) recently ordered quite a few from them and was also pleased..so you can always check with her for a reference as well. his autoboxes are wonderful...i tried to get him to leave me the one he has in the back of his truck..no go i am also trying to talk him into building me a dog trailer..he just laughs and laughs..? ;D i told him he could use the frame etc from my current trailer and just "enhance" it..he still laughed. anyway, give dan a shout..he is super to deal with! |
