How do i 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 :)

Answer
Have you checked ebay for crate covers? You might be able to find one that will fit the crate on there :)

Hi everyone, we are a scots couple who have moved to bulgaria, we now have a 12 week old pup who we need to crate train (thanks to advice from you lot after the first question about her) My problem now is that Bulgaria dont have dog crates, well not that i can find anyway, does anyone know of any company , UK or U.S, that will ship one over here? Ive already tried many sites on the web but not one will ship over here.

Answer
Does Bulgaria have eBay access?
You can also make one. I'll see if I can find plans.

RAbbit cages? c&c england?

dog crates uk ebay image

kittycat

I am getting a rabbit, or two and want to try and provide them a good amount of space in an indoor cage without spending too much money. One idea is to use a dog crate or cage which i have read could be good although it is important to be careful about the bars and their width apart (with limbs and getting stuck etc)

I then thought about c&c caging as it can be quite cheap and is customizable. I have found a good kit with the squares of metal, cable ties and clips but i thought that if that wasn't enough then maybe i could get something very similar but meant for shoes from amazon:

Would something like this be good if they fit together etc.

also the 'shoe' ones would go at the back as a way of keeping in sawdust and litter.
I think i could make them fit!

Answer
The ones from ebay are very versatile. I've made many cages with these type grids.

What are you using sawdust for??? I'll assume you plan to use it as bedding?
That is way too messy for my taste. I never used bedding of any kind -- it's totally unnecessary.

If you have a litter pan (preferably high-backed) and a good litter (like Yesterday's News, unscented, or Carefresh) then that is all you need. (I'm in US, so don't know if those litters are available to you)

Here are two such cages I made. The first was for one bunny and the other was for two.

For a cage bottom you can use linoleum, untreated drywall, or even carpet (to name a few ideas). Only use carpet, though, if he's not ingesting it. You can also put in an old towel for him to dig, scrunch and cuddle with.
