I'm fostering two mastiff puppies and they quickly outgrew the old plastic kennel they were sharing. So, I built them a new and improved kennel! It's so much nicer than that old one and looks great in my living room. The puppies appreciate the additional room, too! Now hopefully a family comes along soon to adopt them before they outgrow this kennel, too! :)
Building this kennel was the first time I used a Kreg Jig. I LOVE it! I will be using it a lot more on future projects.
I put a stop plate on the inside of the door frame so that the door stops right where it should to latch it and not swing inwards.

Looks Great and Glad to know it hold a Mastiff
Just wanted to say that I just started fostering and have a German Shepherd/Border Collie mix that came with a large wire crate. If I keep up with this fostering, I think I'll need a small, medium, and large one! Love it, thanks for posting....I'll be buying more lumber again.
