New Dog box

Post by plottwalker »

Finished this box up a few days ago, should work for for big game hounds, or beaglers, or field trial guys, has quick removable door covers, side vent/strike holes, vented back and divider,a 2 gallon hidden water tank. 3 heavy duty drawers, (rated to hold 400lbs each.) all stainless hardware,keyed alike stainless slam latches,fits in any smaller truck bed. powder coated just for looks, but i took some temperature reading and it was 6 degrees cooler in the box then out side. top is textured like sand paper for dogs that are rigging. i dont normally post much about my boxes, but this one looked to cool to not show off a little.

That's a slick looking box! I'd be proud to drive around with that in the back of my truck...

Looks nice but I'm surprised about the 6 deg temp reduction....was this in the sun? If so did you put foam board insulation between the walls?

yes there is insulation between the top and the drawers, also another layer under the drawer bottoms.then another layer of sheet metal under the drawers. no insulation on the sides. i didnt want any access for the dogs to destroy any insulation. it was in direct sunlight. i used textured white powder for the top to also help reflect some of the heat.
