Custom Dogo Argentino Dog Cages

Last week I got sick of having huge dog cages in my living room. When I just had Dante it was no big deal having a two and a half by three and half foot cage in the living room, but with three dogos there was just not enough room. My TV is built into the wall with shelves all around it and there was a lot of dead space behind it. So, I got the ideal of building the dog cages into the wall to free up the space in my living room. The first thing I did was go to Lowes, there I got half inch rebar, paneling, paint, latches, cheap wood flooring, and a bunch of other things that I thought I might need. Here is what I did.

First I cut the rebar with my die grinder.

I welded it together and added hinges and a latch.

The hinge is just an old door hinge that I cut and welded on.

The Latch is a fence latch from Lowes

I cut out the shelves and the wall underneath the TV.

I installed cheap wood flooring on the floors and the walls so that the cages would be easy to clean.

I made the cages out of plywood.

The first cage installed, this is Dante's cage, but  it is bigger so I will used it for mama and puppies when they come.
