Very simple yet effective doggy bed

Find a Nice Large Crate

This is a crate used in the automotive industry so it was fairly clean already, I measured the first 3 slats up and just cut through the supports.

It was quite heavy so I had to call in the heavy lifters :)

Smooth Edges

Use a belt sander to get rid of all those nasty edges and splinters.

Due to the look of the product I didn't do much more finishing with sandpaper after that.

Staining

I had some left over stain from the TV unit so I didn't have to buy any , Also you can see by the pic that I called in the professional once again.

Done

Fill it with a piece of foam cut to size and cover with their favorite blanket.
