downsouth 7,379 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Perfect boxes them 5 feet down. Whats the lad called that makes them?his name is Darren Tisdale mate I've just had a set of doubles made for the big dogs and know a few lads with terrier boxes and lads that have had large boxes for their security dogs.He will make them to your exact specification and the quality and prices won't be beat. 2 Quote Link to post
jok 3,318 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 For what it's worth, and I'm not being presumptuous, I make boxes. Now them Ali ones are clearly for a specific job and fair play to the maker, they look fantastic. I have only the ability in the woodworking department. I've made a few boxes in my time and you may read one or two reviews on here. I hope most are good. If I can assist then ask away. Jok. 1 Quote Link to post
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Wouldn't budge from the plastic version now personally having had both wood and ally in the past .Wood rots and the ally chequer rattles to distraction .Plastic is light ,easily cleaned and who the hell keeps dogs in a box of any sort on a hot day . 3 Quote Link to post
jok 3,318 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Fox dropper. Do you use your box/terrier June till Septemer? Bit cooler the rest of the time I think the most important thing is ventilation . As I see it, the time during transportation is when you might have a snag. Wood, Ali or plastic makes not a bit of difference, in my opinion. Jok. 1 Quote Link to post
GARY 76 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Darren's boxes are top notch, everyone I know uses them...... Saved my quad from rolling down a mountain once when a mates bike rolled into mine. 2 Quote Link to post
Cargol 302 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Iv a Dog Tran plastic terrier box and one of Darrens Ali Boxes for shovels etc. Both are hard to beat. The plastic ones are pricey but it will last you a lifetime. 1 Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Are there many air holes for the terriers in them boxes? Difficult to tell by them pics but I think they need plenty of fresh air if they're going to be in them most of the day. Quote Link to post

Difficult to tell by them pics but I think they need plenty of fresh air if they're going to be in them most of the day.theres lids on each compartment each a multiple of large holes. Then I have the rear of the boxes drilled with approx 20mm holes then a few small holes in the bottom in case they piss in their box Quote Link to post
