I used 1/2 inch plywood and framed it with 2x2's. The doors are made out of scrap aluminum I bought from a local metal shop. The key to it lasting is good paint.

I don't have any side pictures but I can get you some tomorrow. The trim is screwed on. The trim on the edges is just stair trim that I bought in the flooring dept. at lowes.

My friend has one that is totally welded. No screws or bolts or rivets whatsoever except the doors. I will try to get a picture. Its probably about 30 years old.

my dogs are on the large side so I opted for a rig style box with taller doors.
