Great video man. I've been researching for these extenders all over and this seems like the most stable and easiest solution. One question. Why did you use 2 pieces for the top? Is it because you didn't have a wide enough piece of wood?
Thanks man. That means a lot! I've been wanting to redo this video due to the quality. I had the deck boards laying around and just went with those but 1 piece would be better, and easier. I only needed 9" for my truck so that may have been a hard find. I should have stripped both boards for an even look, instead of 5.5/3.5 but it works. It has been a permanent part to the backseat since I did the video😄 The problem now is I need to make the dogs a step to get in.
@@ShortnCocky let us know when you post the step video! ive been thinking about how to do it but it has to be at a slight angle because of the door which is odd
Thank you for this video! I've been looking for a simple, affordable and sturdy way to let my 3 dogs travel comfortably all at once, so one of them has to be in the backseat. I was thinking of buying one of those seat extenders, they look really handy but not very strong built. Also they seem very pricey for what it is! I think I'm gonna give a try at building one similar to this!
I was just saying this to someone explaining I could do this in the back of the car for my dogs thinking I came up with my own invention , low and behold you have already done it 😀
We tried the "store bought" backseat extenders and hammocks only to have them shredded and falling apart within months. This simple project saves money and will last a long time!

For those who want a simpler solution and don't have the tools then the folding PetDek is the answer. At 12 lbs and a 60 second install or removal it makes it easy.
Hey brother. I’m about to design a dog bed over a passenger seat and extend into area where legs and feet usually go. BTW I’m a designer lol ( for a living ) anyway, wanted to see if you’d be interested in doing this with me ?
My dog limps after sitting on the back carseat and I really need to make him comfortable. Since I don't have any tool living in a city, and have a difficulty carrying wood to upstair apartment. Could I ask for you to make one for my service dog? I would like to pay for your work if you could let me know. Thank you.
Hey Rosey! I'd be happy to do that for you but we need to talk about details. If you still need it, email me and we will figure something out. jsupersquared@gmail.com
Price of lumber these days i found extender for 34 bucks on amazon..with storage..says it will fit my truck but wont known till it gets here...instill might be doing this so thanks.
I'm pretty sure I have seen the one you are talking about or something like it. Hopefully, it works for you. I have very little faith in products these days- Not much is built to last. Even with lumber prices how they are, you could still build this for under $25. The 5/4 deck boards are overkill- same with landscape timbers but I had them. Depending on how fancy you want it you could even use something like fence pickets and 2x2, or 2x4s, and that would cost less than $20....maybe $15. Good luck & thanks for watching.
Good question. We do use safety belts. If an accident was to happen, I feel better knowing the dogs will not be projected from the vehicle. I think that is at the owners discretion though. The belts we use are just short bungee-leashes that clip into the original seat-belt buckles. Still allows for movement but would stop them from being thrown or jumping out of the windows. Sometimes they get tangled; is the only con I can think of.

Like that fence in the backyard too.
Great with a DIY video, which don't require me being a skilled carpenter to do it. Heading to the workshop right now!

Nice work. I got the tools. Might as well make it!! Thanks, guys!

My dog weighs 100 lbs and the “heavy duty” pet extenders are stupid expensive and would probably fall apart. This looks like a winner!
great ideia thank you 👌
You are welcome! Glad to help

Wow, this video needs to be redone
Indeed it does.

Hey there! What city are you located in... and would this be for Leo?
Email me at jsupersquared@gmail.com and we can go from there🙂

Hi, do you endorse the use of dog seatbelts? Any pros/cons you’ve run into other than the obvious safety issue?
Good question. We do use safety belts. If an accident was to happen, I feel better knowing the dogs will not be projected from the vehicle. I think that is at the owners discretion though.
