A crate for puppy (programming.dev)

I made a crate for puppy! He keeps outgrowing the ones we bought, so I made a large one out of his playpen panels that should be big enough until he's fully grown.

The floor is a sheet of plywood. I put vinyl wrap on it for waterproofing (turns out it's too fragile, by the time I made the rest I made a couple of tears).

For the top, I made a lip out of PSE wood (I think 25mm), to give more rigidity and allow fitting a hinged top.

Cabin hooks for the door, but they turned out to be too loose, so I added a Brenton bolt.

Puppy likes it, so overall a success!

I didn't know that was a called a Brenton bolt. Neat!

I actually had to look it up when writing that post, I think I searched for "garden gate lock" at first :)
