Red Fox Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I'm after a strong, good quality wire crate for the back of the wagon. Space wise I can go up to 44" long (so 42" is ideal) but am restricted to 30" in height which is making it difficult. A standard 36" crate would fit but is too small for my dog. It must have a side door and would need to be easy enough to collapse whilst inside the back of the car. (Without the swearing and pinching of fingers!) I'm considering another c-crate either an AP6 or custom made size (if they do that??). The quality is there, steel tray over plastic and they are super smooth to set up and collapse so has everything I want. But they aren't cheap either! So wondering if anyone can recommend an alternative? Thanks ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fox Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Awwww no-one? Has anyone bought from this eBay seller? Petsouterspace http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT eta, the puppypower (black crates and Savic) and Vebo 42" crates are out as at 80cm they are too tall by 5cm.

Shelby Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 What about having one made to the specifics that you want? OKS Engineering who make show trolleys also make cages for cars. Website is www.dogshowequipment.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilly Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I had a "gate" put in the back of my hatch back - it was custom made from a security screen. If needed you could then put a cargo barrier between the driver and the back. I had the same problem of the largest crate that could fit in my little car just wasn't big enough for my dogs.

Red Fox Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Thanks for the ideas. I've considered having a gate/divider made, but for the expense a crate would be the most versatile I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 When I was in europe everyone had these. They are awesome but I cant seem to find anyone who makes them here. http://glawel.de/tier_hundeboxen.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staranais Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I have a custom made crate for my wagon. It fits the wagon well, I can take it out to use it as a regular crate if I like, and it comes apart into panels & collapses too. It wasn't cheap, though.
