What's the difference between a kennel and a dog crate?

I learned from the dictionary that a crate is a wicker basket, then what is a dog crate? Isn't it the same as a dog house?

Answer
In the UK (or at least my part of it), a kennel is made of wood or plastic and is usually an outside shelter. I think the US terminology is 'doghouse'. It can also be a structure of individual outdoor runs and shelters for many dogs. A crate would generally be perceived as a travel-cage for transporting a dog when outside the house; crate-training whereby a metal or plastic cage or crate is used for indoor housetraining is fairly novel here.

Essentially, the words are interchangeable.

How to make a dog crate cover (UK)?

Margaret

I want to make a cover for my dog's crate but have no idea how to go about it!

In centimetres it's roughly 55 (w) x 79 (l) x 63 (h) - The crate has a label on the front that says Rosewood Pet Products #078173

I'm not very experienced with sewing so have no idea how to choose which material, how to work out how much material I'll need, and how to make a pattern for it etc etc. Ideally I want a material that doesn't fray too much.

Can you help me by guiding me through this step-by-step OR can you suggest somewhere I can buy one this size?

Please help!

Thank you :)
