mipmapped Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 I thought I'd share this with the group. I've seen a few of these PVC dog barriers on other forums but this one is really easy to make and is really easy to put in and take out. I used lengths of electrical conduit PVC, a couple of conduit 90 degrees and plumbing T and 45 degree couplings. Some hammerite over the white couplings otherwise left the conduit grey (as I know my dog will be biting these parts. The ends just slot snugly into the gap between the rear seat and the pastic interior, at least on my Energi.

mtb9153 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I think I've seen you driving around SillyCorn Valley or possibly another Black Energi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mipmapped Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) I think I've seen you driving around SillyCorn Valley or possibly another Black Energi?Quite likely. Though I did pass another black Energi north on 85 yesterday, and there is at least one other in Morgan Hill.

MadManMoon Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 This is awesome! Do you have the pipe sizes and dimensions you cut to? I want to make one of these!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mipmapped Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Sorry, no. It's just 1/2" PVC. You'll find the couplings in the plimbing ilse and the conduit in the electrical. I used gray PVC adhesive and no primer to minimize mess. If I get a minute I'll post dimensions. So far it's working well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mipmapped Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Top pipe is cut to 34"Bottom pipe is cut to 41.5"The two ends are cut 5" There's a small length joining the 45 to the T on each side, but not long enough to show. It's held in place in the car by a friction fit, so check with a small length of pipe that it will be a snug fit on your car first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Very clever! I don't need it for my Tinker as she is getting old and no longer leaps around--sits quietly with her little seat belt and snoozes as soon as the car moves LOL.

mipmapped Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Thanks. Necessity is definitely the mother of invention. Hero surpised me with a growth spurt and got too big for his crate, which I was using in the back. I don't want that furry bundle of chaos anywhere near me when I'm driving...

Laurel Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Hero is pretty darned cute. I love Golden Retrievers. Our neighbourhood is sort of yuppie like with townhouses, houses, condos, and zillions of kids and Golden Retrievers. We are always guaranteed a laugh or two on our walks due to the a couple of Golden Retriever pups--all loose of limb, trying to get everyone to play with them. mipmapped and different drummer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
