| They are just called metal crates and yes I have two, one huge one and a small one. I also thought about making covers for them, they would come in handy since I always cover their crates at night with a blanket anyway. I just have not had the time to do it. They also have bumpers that you make for the crate and they look really neat. Have you thought about making those as well??

| I bought one of these sets in Khaki for like $30. I tried to make it but I just ended up wasting fabric since it ended up to be beyond my sewing ability. Just wanted to let you know in case you'd rather save yourself some time. I wash the comforter/mattress pad that came with the set all the time and it's still in great shape. I got it at a local pet store but I think it came from Drs Foster & Smith. Nevermind I see now you were offering to make them. I think if you made them in nicer fabrics or colors it would be good. But I guess I answered your question since I spent $30 on my set!

| I don't think you'll make much money making them.

| Those are those things I call a CORRAL... You know... It is usually made of wire or steel and goes in a circle on the floor. Like a big playpen without a bottom. They usually are made up of panels or open like an accordion.
