    Custom made Dog Cage for Ute?

    This question is probably more directed at Security Staff and/or breeders.

    I'm looking into buying a new vehicle (ute) in the not to distant future. I would like to get a purpose made double dog cage (similar design to a police dog van) built for inside the rear canopy.

    Does anyone have any idea of any engineering companies that can help me with this?

    Cheers

    I think you are refering to www.puppybars.com

    I had a look on their website but I can only see barriers. I am after something alot more heavy duty. I will contact them away, and see what else they make.

    I've just spent hours looking.
    Some of the best I've seen are overseas but can't find the one I was looking for.
    Here are some to look at, not a lot on the ute side.
    It might give you an idea of something else and you can get it made up.

    Hi

    I have just had a double dog run built by Lancefield Pet Enclosures/petman (you can check out pictures on ebay under dog runs or search for lancefield pet enclosures). I sent him a detailed drawing of what i wanted and within a week i had it installed and it is exactly what i wanted. He also delivers to most melbourne areas.

    Very good quality as it is all made of galvanised steel and he has a pretty good turn around. I know that he only makes dog and pet enclosures but i am sure if you just want a simple box enclosure for the back of your vehicle, he sure can have a go at it.

    His name is Charlie- 0418 540 898

    cheers

    find a few pig hunters in your area and they will more than likely know someone who can build you one.

    Any competent engineering or steel works , should be able to knock something up for you.
    I have a ute with a carry boy canopy, all I did was get a panel made up , and it slides down the middle of the ute so I have the lenght of the ute divided into 2 . Then I hade 2 gates put on the rear ,behind the tail gate all made of gal and fully removable. My gates each have a gas strut , because they lift up wards , I preferred that , that way they are out of the way .
    Should only cost you 6 or 7 hundred dollars.
    I can carry a male and female on each side that is 4 dogs comfortably, although I only ever carry 1 on each side.

    regards

    Shame your in QLD as a friend of mine does excellent custom jobs in steel down here. All I can add though is be very specific and correct with your measurements. I saw a heavy duty 2 dog cage made to meet the spec of a van, being redone the other day due to a variance by mere few mm. Lots of extra cost and hours that could have easily been saved.
