Re: Homemade Dog Box
Erik i got some latches like that on the box on my trailer. make sure you always put something in it to keep it closed. Its a bad feeling to be driving and see one of your dogs poking his head up over the bedrails! travis

Id be afraid of the temp of anything darker. Darker you go, the more heat its gonna hold. And heat is an issue a lot more than cold ever will be. travis

Re: Homemade Dog Box
Looks pretty good. If you are looking for a fan what seems to work the best is to get a bilge blower from a boat supply store. Then wire it into the truck. Set it up where it draws the air out of the box and pulls new air into it. They move more air than anything else we have been able to get. Good luck with your dog.
