Light and bow backed is the way to go! iv knocked a few boxes up over the years then out the blue someone gave me a bow back,dont even know your carrying it will never use a square back breaking, side rubbing box ever again 2 Quote Link to post

lifelong cumbrian 1,826 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 As I was cutting the sheet the first thing I thought was its a bit on the thick side. It's not as heavy as I thought though. It's too heavy to carry all day with 3 ferrets in but to be fair most of the places we ferret is 5-10 mins from car max and then it's just carrying it from set to set. I've had a few of the single ones made from 6mm ply that haven't lasted a season. Hoping this is pretty durable and double as a seat for a 17 stoner Best box I've ever used was from you Moxy, fantastic bit of kit, but I'm skint This was never going to be a Moxy box! Lol. I use 5 ply 6mm gaz, most 6mm is 3 ply. Never had a ferret doing this much damage. 1 Quote Link to post
TOMO 25,810 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I get 3 Jill's easy in my single box,,, just a little light weight affair ,,, in fact I would get 4 in ,,, mind mine are smallish Jill's,, I don't like partition boxes,,, my so called double box without a partition,,,built by Simon whitehead ,,, I have many times had 6 ferrets in it,,, Can't be doing with heavy boxes,,,need all my strength for all the rabbits I'm carrying.. It's a good strong box mind gaz,,,,get the jig saw out,,, cut some big holes in it,,, wire mesh the holes,,, and have it in the motor,, just for transporting Quote Link to post
