My Dog Box/Frame Construction


So after spending a few hours of getting my dog use to the kites, I finally sat down and studied the pictures of Kitemaker4's dog box, after I found the pictures. I also took a good long hard look at it while I was at NABX.

I decided earlier today to start construction on it. After measuring and remeasuring I finally got the dimensions I thought I would need. It was kinda annoying getting my dog to sit still while I measured the dimensions of his shoulder and his head while laying down. He thought I was trying to play. Anyways Got the measurements and drew it up. I am not posting the drawing. It is not worth the humiliation of you guys seeing it.

Nope No way no how you guys are not getting my original drawing so don't even ask….

I made several trips to Lowes first I bought all the stuff in one go. Got home made 1 cut and found out I bought the wrong size elbows. I did check the size of the elbows but then I grabbed the multi pac and it was one size smaller. Had to go back. Bought the right size this time and finished building the sides. Then when I went to put the sides together the bolts were to short I measured the pipe and not the connectors where I drilled the hole. Went back again taking the parts with me. Finally got everything together and this is the final product for now. It does not have a bottom yet just a huge piece of foam.

I hope this picture works.

Well I picked the fabric today. The brightest green canvas that I could find. Not sure how it is going to turn out. I can't wait till my wife's stepmom finishes sewing it. Not sure why thug hit is still to hot to take a pooch with me. Its almost to hot for me.

A fun fact. The front pocket that would be directly behind me has insulation in it for a camel bak. Thank you Mother in law. I did not suggest it she just did it. How awesome is that.
