How can I get a setup like this for two dogs in a caravan?

VaBeachFamily · 11-23-2011, 10:33 AM

1998 Dodge Caraven. Rear seat stored in the garage, need the first and second rows for family. I found the Icrates on sale, but I don't think the 42" fits and allows for door closing, and the 36" isn't tall enough for Cullen to be comfortable. This , with a double, would be awesome, but no idea how to do it! ANyone?

That's a neat setup. No idea where the picture came from?

Looks a lot like this brand: Vehicle Pet Barriers , Midwest Tubular Barriers

It's easy to get the barriers, question is, where is the door from.

This is the best idea as of yet and would pretty much solve ALL my problems with the Jeep compass.

I wonder if you went to a fencing company if they would be able to do it -it is just a fence door-looks like it was custom made

Via Google I found this place ... but it's in Australia: Puppy Bars

or you'd do it the "redneck" (no offense or pun intended) kind of way, wood and chicken wire.

It looks like a typical stock photo of car barriers so I would think the door is made by someone.

The only information that I could gather was that it was in a Volvo! If you look, there is a latch part and the swivel part attached, I am curious if I could use old crate doors, and figure the rest out myself, but would have to be sturdy so that I could have the back open during training!

How is that thing attached? It looks almost like there is a clamp sticking up. Can the hatch close?

My issue with homemade panels (like chicken wire) would be the lack of tensile strength. I could see even just a bump in the road tossing the dog into the wire and getting caught up. I tend to be picky about safety as well as just the confinement aspect.

We have a 95 Dodge Caravan. I would think with the rear bench out you could easily fit a 42" crate the long way and get one with a side door.

My friend and I use 36" crates for carpooling to Schutzhund and other dog events. Her dog weighs almost 90. Nikon is the smallest at 75. Pan is about 75 but is lankier than Nikon and will fill out to be more. I'm not real concerned with height, they should not be standing in the vehicle anyway.
