Dog Box

[Crusaderhunter]

I have a new dog box, made out of plywood for the back of my pickup. Before I paint it I need to put some air holes in it. How many should I make and where should they be placed? Thanks for your help.

My dog box has a 6"x10" vent in the side filled with expanded metal and a sliding cover that I can close it off if need be.

Crusader- I have a dog box I made out of plywood to fit my Taurus SW

just finished making a new one to fit my 08 Escape- it's devided- has two doors
40"X34"X 21"- the 4 Britt's like it- and it's not so big I can't easily see out the back window

with a jigsaw I cut an opening 3"X11" in each back and side of both of the compartments 4" below the top- if I am going to camp I set it outside, if it rains or is real cold I'll cover it- provides good ventilation in this warm climate

I don't paint mine- I use Helsmans inside and out- couple coats and I can wash it inside and leave it out in the weather- makes a nice dog house for when you need it-

I just finished my new box last weekend, it is 48"x26.5"x28". It's a 2 hole box, there is a 6"x10" vent on each side, and two 2" vents on the front and back (two for each side of the box). Heres some pics, I also chose not to paint it, I stained it and waterproofed it for the same reason as Shadow.
