The Deer Creek Uplander two-compartment aluminum dog crate is popular because of its well-conceived design and high-quality construction. Made 38 inches wide by 44 inches long for small trucks and 46 inches wide by 44 inches long for full-size truck boxes, the Uplander features aluminum-welded jailhouse doors, double-wall construction with foam insulation, carrying handles and adjustable ventilation.

Every crate comes in a choice of a plain flat top, a storage top with hinged door or an under-the-crate storage drawer. Deer Creek also manufactures a deluxe doghouse that can be shipped in easy-to-assemble parts with aluminum skins and bubble board insulation. Each house has a waterproof easy-access lid, an aluminum chew-proof, double swing door and an easy-to-clean, chew-resistant interior.
