Great ideas to stablize it! Thanks, any help is much appreciated! I'll need to get a little more wood to do that.

It sure didn't turn out as great as I'd hoped. I've done a lot of projects around my home, that have turned really good. My Dad was a carpenter, and I watched a lot, and when ex's did something, I was the "gofer" (you know, go fer this, go fer that?). You can learn a lot from watching, and fetching tools.

I kinda designed this as I was checking out Lowe's to see what they had, and what I could do for x amont of dollars. I spent about 20 bucks on the whole thing, minus the 2x4's I already had here at the house (which were $2.25 each there).

I just couldn't see spending $50 bucks on an x-pen that she wouldn't be using as she got older and trained. Something else for the attic! Now the crate is another story, I know she'll use it forever, so didn't mind spending on that.

Thanks for the ideas on stabilizing! I'm sure I'll be doing that too.
