I Built a Double DOG KENNEL Furniture Piece!

It looks like a nice console, but it's home to two pets!

This double width pet cage furniture piece is sized like a console or credenza, and can replace ugly and space consuming plastic or metal kennels.

Unique design features gaping holes for sliding pet treats under for easy cleaning.

Built using common lumber and rebar.

What length do you cut the rebar to? Measurement seems to be missing from the plans?

Might want to consider hinges with removable pins. That way you can take the doors off. For a properly crate trained dog, their crate is their safe space and they may hang out in it even when they don't need to be contained, especially if that's where their bed is or where they're fed. It's also good for when you're first training and want to get them to go in voluntarily before advancing to closing the door.

Great plans. I like the use of rebar. I just watched a video that popped up after watching yours. I liked that one too, however copper piping was used for the bars. It was very pretty, but it made me think that the planet's copper tubing is best used for electricity and like uses. I not saying 1 version or channel is better than the other. I wanted to specify that rebar is a great choice and why. 💛💛💛

Nice, built a similar one using bars from kids old crib. The rebar looks a little rough imo. I would use wooden dowels or electrical conduit for a smoother look…
