Okay, there’s a catch… Let me explain.
I am in the middle of massive downsizing and have 2 small and 1 medium sets of slings, corner fittings, and end caps for the legs from the test samples I made. I would love to see these go to good homes where puppies can enjoy them. The color is dark brown in the top and middle cots pictured above.
The 2 small sets and medium set have been claimed.
Actually, I have the PVC for the sides and legs too, but after checking boxes and shipping it’s cheaper for you to buy the PVC locally and cut it than to pay for the shipping.
If you don’t mind paying for shipping for medium USPS priority shipping box at $12.35 (doesn’t that seem high for a medium box??? Feel free to check the rates), then I will send the slings, corners, and caps to you. You will then need to buy 1 1/2″ PVC (directions can be found on the tutorial) and assemble the frame. I recommend you go to Harbor Freight and buy a cheap PVC cutter if you don’t have one. The cost is half what the big box stores charge.
If you are interested, leave a comment below or go to the contact page and send me a message. I will need payment sent via PayPal before shipping the slings.
Please let me know if you have any questions. These are for smaller or medium dogs — you need a large cot for large breed dogs.
I can help you out by providing everything but the PVC and you can help me out by getting them out of here without it costing me shipping. Sounds like a win-win to me 🙂
Hi. I would love to buy the two small ones from you.
Hi Donna — I just checked and everything for both small cots will fit in one medium box!! So if you’re okay with sending $12.35 to cover shipping they’ll go in the mail tomorrow. I’m going to email you so I can get your address.
I’d love the medium cot and will pay for shipping of everything. Including the pvc. I do better with a model – something tangible to hold see and analyze when building. As good as your directions are..I need this to get me going again. Thanks
Gayle — I’m sending you an email.
HELLO, COULD YOU SEND THE MEASUREMENTS FOR THE MED. COTS. I WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED OVER THE PVC SIZE PIPES. IF I AM NOT WRONG YOU SAID THAT THE 1 INCH PVC SAGED TO MUCH, BUT THEN YOU WENT TO 1 1/2 INCH AND IT DID NOT SAG? I AM CONFUSED. I HAVE TWO PUGS ONE WEIGHS 32 LB THE OTHER ONE 34 LB LOL I KNOW THEY ARE TO HEAVY BUT THEY LIKE TO MANY TREATS LOL. I WANT TO TRY TO MAKE THEM SOME MED. COTS FOR THEM. IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS FOR ME I AM OPEN FOR IDEAS OR ANY THING ELSE YOU COULD MAKE SUGGESTIONS. I AM OPEN. . THIS IS A GREAT IDEA. WHERE DID YOU EVER COME UP WITH THIS IDEA I LOVE IT. YOU DID A GREAT JOB ON THE COTS.THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK.
Carol, I sent you an email with this and additional information. You are correct that I don’t feel 1″ PVC is heavy enough to not sag over time and believe 1 1/2″ is better. My patterns are for 1 1/2″ since the amount of fabric needed to circle the circumference of the pipe has to be considered. That said, some people have changed the plans and done the cot in 1″ — so if you want to figure your own measurements you can.
THANK YOU , SO MUCH FOR EMAILING ME BACK. AND EXPLAINING ALL THE COTS TO ME.
HAVE SAFE TRAVELS.
