Trying to build my own dog crates.... looking at options for doors and I saw these. Not sure if they would've been purchased or built, but I'mnot sure where to start.... this seems like a good option that locks and provides plenty of ventilation.

I'm thinking it might be built with a screen door grate but I'm not sure how to make the hinge..? Or does anyone have any other ideas on a door? I'm probably going to buy some base cabinet frames from IKEA but I'm trying to think of options to make locking doors with plenty of ventilatio

Answer
It'd be a good option to go to homedepot first.

They sell hinges there and you know EVERYTHING. It should be cheaper than ikea too. I would use something like google sketch up to get all the specs, and make it exactly what I want then bring it to homedepot. get all the hard stuff pre-cut and labeled. Then talk to their crew about the best equipment to join the stuff if you're dealing with metal or plastic.

Hopefully, it'll be a one stop. If its not a hardware store is a really good place to save and get all your foundation material and advice from people who build.

I don't know how big your dog is or if it could jump but you might just save alot of time and money if you get it a playpen http://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Pet-Supplies-Dog-Playpens/zgbs/pet-supplies/3024198011

Can i use a dog crate for an amazon parrot?

Leslie

I need a temporary cage for a new amazon im getting and im just wondering if i can use a dog crate for a bit of time till i get her a cage

Answer
As long as the spaces between bars are small enough for her not to squeeze through, it should be fine temporarily. It would be smarter to just wait until you can buy a cage to get the actual animal.
