Oh gosh no, mine still sleep in the box at 3 weeks :( I remove the pig rails
so they can't climb out. I have a separate 3 car garage and an attached 2 car
garage, storing a box standing up isn't an issue :)))))))

Kathy the wood boxes with the two inch pvc pig rails are great, used one for
years but I had ( have) so much stuff in my garage about two or three years ago
I got rid of it!... And yes a litter of 3 week old GSDs will beat up a Dura
Whelp box, my pups are usually out of the box and in the kennel before 3 weeks,
at 4 weeks they are chewing on chicken backs! Tough dogs these German
Shepherds! FB

I have a Dura-whelp one and used it once. A litter of nine not quite 3 week
old puppies destroyed it and I relied on zip strips to hold it together until
they were old enough to not be contained in a box. I went back to my heavy
wood, cut free by Lowes, no bottom, PVC pig rails. That particular box is 11+
years old and has housed a dozen litters or so. Maybe $40 to build. Lowes and
Home Depot will cut the wood and PVC for free, poke around in the shelving
aisle.

Now that you mention it I believe the Dura-whelp boxes are in-fact made out of
plastic, and they are super light weight, but strong, come in different sizes
and cleaning is super easy, I'd bet there folks other than me that use it! Ed

Tedi found corrugated plastic on the internet, and then found a local source.
They have large sheets, and you score it where you want to bend it, and then
fold it to the shape you want. It washes off, and Tedi used duct tape to hold
the shape of a whelping box. It weighs nothing and is stronger than cardboard.
When she told them what she wanted it for, they were so pleased they scored it
for her, and didn't charge her for it. It worked great.
Since we haven't had a litter in two years, we haven't used it again. But, we
have a bitch in whelp, so maybe we will dig it out of the garage.

Dura-whelp.... They make outstanding whelping boxes! They are made out of
cardboard, and they use wood railings for the edges to keep mom from laying on
pups, when you are done the box folds up quickly and you put it back in the
box! Cost about 200 bucks, money well spent Ed

I am thinking about making a whelping box until I can afford this Jonart box. I
would like it to be durable for at least two years so I will be able to get
this one.
Does anyone have any suggestions on wood types and do you recommend to finish
the wood with a safe paint/finishing? Thank you in advance. Angela
