Karen Shirk, Executive Director Karen, I went to Home Depot, bought PVC piping, with the corner pieces, cut them to fit my box and bought 1/2 circle metal brackets that screw into the box at intervals to hold them. LOVE THEM! First, they are round and there is some "give" to them. Easier to lean against for mom, the babies and MUCH easier on my back <G> than the old stand by, wood. When the puppies try to escape, the "give" buys you more time, and finally, when you want the "rails" out, you just unscrew the brackets. Because they are PVC (not wood) super easy to clean! I know other listers use kiddie swimming pools. Works great too. If you are looking for the best price on Dura Whelp, use a shopping search engine like shopzilla.
