Great video and clear instructions. best part was the measurements provided by one of the users in comments. Took me around 3-4 hours consolidated time including travel time and the cuts and paint . Pretty pleased with outcome.
I saw a few asking for measurements and I don't see any here. This is what I figured for my kennel: Kennel size: ~31"Lx20"Wx21"H *note: these are exact board measurements. I know 1x4's are not really 4" wide but I used leftover wood-textured trim for mine and these are the exact sizes of boards I used* Cut 4-1x3 1/2" boards at 22.5" for corner sides Cut 4-1x2 1/2" boards at 22.5" for corner sides Cut 4-1x2 1/2" boards at 33.5" for box top and bottom long edges (max size board for the front door to open) Cut 4-1x2 1/2" boards at 21.5" for box top and bottom short side edges (max size board for the door to open) Cut 3/4" plywood or MDF wood at 36"x25" which gives a 1" overhang on all sides. If you want it on three sides only to sit flush against the wall, cut it at 36"x24" Your choice of edging to go around the top I actually used extra trim from my house for my cover so you'll have to make sure if you use regular boards it will be the same size. My trim is 3/4" thick and I happened to just have enough to make the cover! LOL! The top I made flush with the back instead of doing a 1" overhang all around and it sits well against my wall. It was fast to build and can be done by a beginner as long as they watch the video closely so they know which sides the wider boards go on. It looks great! Thank you for your video!
I built something almost identical. But I left the bottom board off on the door end so I can pull the tray out if needed. Is that something you considered? I used birch for the top, what did you use?

Thought about building one myself, watched this, now i'm looking to buy one lol. Awesome though!
😂
😂😂😂
Hahaha😂
😂😂😂 this alone tells me what I need to know
I feel u bro. Came here looking on how to, m planning on who to ask instead.
Nice job, especially for us that do not have all the fancy tools!

3-4 hrs is impressive. Good job.

I’m so impressed
Great idea, easier to remove the crate and clean
Great work, man! I love the simple design. I'm going to use it.
Thank you & good luck with the project!
Brilliant narration
Thank you
That’s clever!! Love this idea🙌🏻
Thank you!
Yooooooooo!!!! this was good!
Great job!!
That’s was pretty cool an awesome to learn
Thanks for idea!
Great idea
Good job
I built something almost identical. But I left the bottom board off on the door end so I can pull the tray out if needed. Is that something you considered? I used birch for the top, what did you use?
I used maple. I thought about that but didn't want to disrupt the symmetry. It's very easy to lift off the unit to clean tray if need be.
This is awesome.
Also that tool at the end the adapter you put on the clap for the holes please

Could you use different size boards if you don’t have a table saw?
Of course! You will just have to make sure there is clearance for the door to swing freely.
What’s that adapter you put on your drill to make those pilot holes bigger?
That's a countersink drill bit.
Thank you very much still learning! 😊
Do you have any plans, supply list? Love this idea!!
Take a look at the pinned comment above 😃
I really want to make one of these but I’m trying to figure out how I can build it but with two crates
I can design one for you and make plans for 250
Home Depot will cut the wood if you provide measurements
Not always the best or most accurate cut
They also only cut lengths
What was the thickness of the boards you used?
Those are 1x4's.
What size is the dog kennel you used?
Medium kennel.
How much over hang did you have for the top? Also what is the thickness of the top?
I did an inch but do whatever you think looks nice 🙂
Would you sell them if requested?
Hi, I typically sell these locally. Might be pricey to ship an item like this but can look into it. You can message me on my Instagram - design.co.yxe
@Robyn Burdette No Facebook page. Just an Instagram account - instagram.com/design.co.yxe/
Please message me there for more info.
How wide did you cut the wood for the frame?
The width is determined by the kennel. In this situation I believe it was 20".
Do you have a supply list for this ??

Take a look at pinned comment above. 😃
I’m feeling anxiety the way the video feels so rushed lol
Lol it was my first video! I've slowed things down now, I think
Awesome job 👍
Bet you're kicking yourself for staining across the grain, though.
lol
You can stain across the grain
Amazing
