I thought I would put this out just in case someone needed an idea for the boot. My dog goes just about everywhere with me so she needed a nice place to lay on the trips. Also, it is nice to have a flat surface when hitting the hardware stores. Hope this helps some out.

I used 1x6's and made a frame. Then glued indoor outdoor carpet leaving no wood showing.


Then I got a nice piece of wood. I rounded the corners with a dremmel. Sanded, Stained, and Sealed.



I also put two small pieces of velcro under the back side of the stained wood so it would stick to the carpet. This way I can lift the wood up like a lid and use the 3 cubbies underneath.



A happy dog.

 

Looks good. So does the dog. Purebred yellow lab?

 

Wow, That's really great- Like the idea of some hidden storage. I was thinking that the wood looks real good but may not have enough grip for the dogs paws if standing. I would suggest some indoor / outdoor carpet that matches the interior or a rubber mat. Just a thought Great Job

 

Cool thanks. Yes, she is a pure Yellow.


Nah, she is so good she doesn't walk around while the car is moving. Also, the sealer left a little grit since I didn't sand it after the sealer so there is a little traction there.

 

Now *that's* a great idea! My best bud, a Brittany Spaniel, is forbidden to ride in the Mini per my wife She says she wants AT LEAST one clean, hair-free car. LOL

 

very cool idea, seen many do similar but with an amp and subwoofer in there underneath
