Dog Transport Box

Brazzill

Well lads i'm thinking of buying a dog box from this website http://centuriondogruns.ie/index.php?id=3 it's the double one that fits in the boot(2nd picture down). Just waiting on an e-mail back bout the price. Just want to know has anyone bought from this site and if so how would you rate the product or products similar, also if anyone selling a one handy similar to this one let me know also. Cheers

I've seen these ones and unless they've changed their supplier which he mentioned he was doing, they charge way too much for the quality I saw. There's someone in Blessington who charges less for pretty much the same flatpack product. Think you'd find him on donedeal.

To be honest, a foldable crate is as strong as those ones. I eventually found a metalwork teacher friend to make up a custom, heavier but way stronger. I would definitely recommend seeing before purchasing.

Ya I will drive up to cork altogether as it is only up the road. Another lad I was shooting with last year had a serious one in his boot was made out of a hard plastic but extremely strong and water proof but the prices of them new are scandalous, I wouldnt be the wealthiest man in the world thanks for the info anyway lad.

I called that centurion crowd before and the lad that answered was the most ignorant man I ever came across. BEWARE.

I got a mate who's a cabinet maker to make me one. Turned out perfect. I'll post a pic in a bit.

Robotack

The bones were done unbeknown to me....

There's air holes across the top and sides too. It's 6mm ply on a frame so it's light enough to lift alone. I'm very happy with it for afraction of the cost of the plastic ones.

Nice job that is lad! What price did the ignorant lad give you on the box? Ya I have a mate that is a chippy and could sort something I suppose.

Robotack

He didn't give me any price. When I rang he just barked at me 3 times, "look on the web site".

The plastic ones are lovely there's no doubt but IMO not worth the price tag. I couldn't justify €400+ for a box to maybe be stuck with it if I change the jeep.

If you're stuck my mate said he'd measure up your car and custom make one like mine. In Dublin though.

They are definitely NOT worth €400. You will get similar online for under €150. They're chancing their arm trying to charge those prices.

Well if he barks at me on the phone he will be told to rightly **** off haha. Ya lad sound for that but one the lads here a chippy and will sort one out but would rather the ready made ones.

I would say he is on bout the plastic ones lad they savage but I wouldn't be paying 400 plus for one.

Ya I seen them ones on eBay but don't they come flat pack. Probably be rattling like mad after few trips down a passage. Well if all comes to all I could just drive up to that fella above and look at a ready made one before purchase.

Jaysus lad your right he just emailed me back there......400 snots!!! Is he mad? think the plastic ones cheaper then that and they way better. id nearly buy the flat pack one on ebay for cheap and weld it up myself.

There's a company up north that do nice ones. Dogtransportbox.co.uk I think is the site. They are very friendly lads on the phone and the products look nice but again your talking 3-400 notes.
Like if you spent that on a dog trailer I'd say ok, it has wheels, lights, hitch etc., I can see how you arrived at that price..... but ITS A PLASTIC BOX! They must be havin a laugh.

Vizzy

Something like this maybe ?

I'm going for the double version of the donedeal add in Meath. The way I see it for the extra 160 I will have a divided box with 2 doors lad. Charlie10 has the exact one and its perfect for what I want it for. 403 for a brand new one but will last for along time I think.

You should email that flute a link to this thread. And there's others on here about him too. He may then realise how he's flushing his business down the toilet.

The plastic box is the only job, i sold that one to Charlie10 as i needed a bigger one.The plastic ones are superbly made and are worth every penny , they can be easily washed out and disinfected after use and have drain holes to let the water out , they also have stainless steel doors ,hinges and latches.
Your dog is going through ditches and fields that have ****e and slurry spread all over them so any bacteria or germs will breed in the box if it is not properly disinfected, you can fully scrub and disinfect the plastic box and it will stay like new for the rest of your shooting days ,if you scrub and wash a wooden box like that you will not get as long out of it and it will stink like **** as all the ****e soaks into the timber.
Think about it 400 euro and you have a box for the next 30 years..thats 13 euro a year.

You could buy 4 boxes. Use one let it air for 3 weeks & rotate.
I have the plastic one & it's a fine job. I built a wooden one similiar to those ones & varnished it inside & out. Still fine & fits under cover in back of pick up.
Plastic 1 is just an investment & I customized it with shelves etc for gear

No favouritism here boys ye all nice fellas like :D:D:D just had my heart set on that box since last season.

I'd agree with this if you're box is going to be a basic cube shape and you own a van or pickup truck. However when I enquired they were gonna have to supply me a box that was custom made for my make / model jeep. As I don't intend keeping that jeep for 30 years I'd only end up changing the box with the jeep so unfortunately it wouldn't be a lifetime investment for me.

id buy a car to cater for these box's lad. i like them because they fit in any boot(well charlie10's he got off lb) that seats go down or car/van like corolla, golf, punto. i wouldn't have a jeep or anything ike that. basically i buy a car for the hunting season.

Na i just do a lot of overtime:Djust before my baby was born i averaged 68 hrs a week,thats day and night shifts as soon as my wife is back in action and all these visitors stop calling il be back up to that again,if you want nice toys you have to work hard to pay for them. , in fairness that lads timber boxes are very well made and they look really good and they are a credit to him, i always appreciate good workmanship like that.Any spa can go down to chadwicks and get a few 2 by 4 and a few sheets of ply and make up a box but that that lad puts a bit of effort in.
If you take the butchers even now as an example most have gone away from the old timber blocks and now use the plastic ones as they are more hygienic and you dont have to spend a half hour at the end of the day scrubbing them clean.
Most of the boxes that that lad up the north supplies are 1meter wide.that will fit into most hatch back cars and between every jeeps wheel arches on the market, i used it in a pajero and a landcruiser..i delivered it to charlie in my wife's Vw fox and he took it home in a Fiat punto, 2 of the smallest hatchbacks on the market,most of heights are standard it is just the depth that you have to worry about.
