1.
What is the Dura-Whelp Box made of?
Visual perception can be a problem. This is industrially
extruded Five-Millimeter Corrugated Plastic, not coated
cardboard. That is why we can offer the 3 year guarantee on the box.
You should not judge the box until it is assembled. The walls
may seem flimsy until the puppy rails are in, they frame and
strengthen the entire box.

9.
How is the Dura-Whelp put together?
Only a Philip's head screwdriver is needed. Everything is
held together with industrial strength Velcro. The bottom
is 1 piece that unfolds and has flaps around the edge. The
wall unit is 1 piece that opens up and sits on top of the
floor piece. The flaps then come up and Velcro to the sides.
Then you insert the rails. 2 of the rails go directly through
the walls and the other 2 fit between them. This is what frames
and steadies the box. Detailed instructions are included with
every box.
