New (to me) dog cage

I had been looking around - though not too hard for a dog cage. Not that I hunt with dogs, but as a way of locking a fridge/swag/rifles away.
A mate at work mentioned he had one that he had bought for his son, and then TYB didnt want it.
It seems to be a comercially built one, due to mandrel bent tube steel (50mm external), scalloped and welded joins - and very good welds too. If its not from a fabricating workshop - someone has some good kit and skills.
Anyway $300 later and its mine, had to shorten the utes sides, the local trailer shop wanted $250 to do that.
20 minutes between downpours with an angle grinder, socket set and a drill saved me that amount.
I must be on the way to being a proper
poacher hunter now!!!

Yes mate, just adjustable toggle latch types - theoretically they will "pull" the sides in and forward a touch - hopefully to make it rattle less.

We could lock Trev in there if he continues to disregard the 10 meter rule.

You are assuming Trev would fit?

More to the point, I don’t want to turn around and see little Trev.
