Mustelid 143 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I've just been looking at the Dog Cabins on caninekennels.com and they cost a fortune! I've always used wooden boxes made from 1/2 inch ply, but they don't last long. I like the look of the phenolic coated boxes sold by canine kennels. I was wondering if anyone on here has ever used phenolic coated board to make dog boxes and if so where they bought it from/what their verdict was. The phenolic coated board would surely last longer, be easier to clean and more hygeinic. Many thanks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smokin 0 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 kingspan make it mate really? i know they make phenolic rigid insulation - the hard foam with foil 'sandwich' - i thought we were on about the coated ply board - its used in construction for high grade shuttering work etc - ive only seen bulk purchases - not just an 8x4 sheet of 1/2" board which is all i'd be looking at for making ferret housing atb chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mustelid 143 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 That's just the stuff I was talking about! Didn't see any prices on the website though... I'm sure some cracking sleeping boxes would be made out of that stuff and that it would last. My dogs scratch and chew the wooden boxes to death. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My dogs scratch and chew the wooden boxes to death. thats exactly it - no prices anywhere - even downloaded a pricelist and guess what = phenolic board £poa - did see one site it was £88 for single sided 18mm coated for an 8 x 4 - if the data sheets are true it could well be a long term good investment - 'like a stainless exhaust' if you get me!! - atb chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
