Anyone here into making dog cages?
Discussion
Ive been carrying the dog (27kg Field Spaniel) in my car for the past 3 years with no dramas, helped by him being very car friendly and falling asleep as soon as the engine starts. He sleeps on a bed which is on top of a rubber mat and i keep the built in guard up so the back of the car remains clean and dirt free. However, ive just taken on another dog (10kg Working Cocker Spaniel). She's a bit older, still very car friendly, but likes to jump between the rear windows and the edge of the guard and onto the back seats. 
Obvioulsy i cant let this happen so im looking for a custom cage that will house the pair within one large compartment. The standard square / rectangle cages are no good in the RS6 with the shaped boot space and lip under the top of the boot lid. I have one square cage already which is big enough for the first dog, but need a bigger one for the pair. If i get the next size up it doesnt fit so in order to make use of all that space which i still have im gonna need to get a custom job made.
I could have stuck this in a general PH forum but it would need to be produced locally in order for the measurments be correct so ive stuck it in here. If your handy with the plastic coated mesh then give me a buzz.
Also:
Does anyone know if Audi did a cage for the RS6 / A6? Is the C5 RS6 boot the same size and shape as the C5 A6? Has anyone got one for sale that they no longer need? Has anyone got any experience with custom cages?

Quick google brings up http://www.trystorme.co.uk/carcages.html
I had a couple of custom/tailor made cages built a good few years back by a guy called Rod Roberts - they were (and indeed still are) excellent quality
He makes and supplies a lot of cages to the security/guard dog industry, IIRC he is based near Derby though
just checked my cages - the stickers with his phone number atc are no longer present
Google should find him for you - Rod Roberts Cages
