Short Long Edge | Custom Fit and Finish | DogCrateTopper

Turn Your Dog's Crate Into Beautiful Furniture

Transform an ordinary wire dog crate into a functional, furniture-style piece for your home with our handmade wood dog crate topper. Designed to provide a finished wooden surface above your dog's crate, this topper adds useful space for displaying decor or keeping everyday essentials within reach.

What Makes This Topper Different

The Short Long Edge combines an extended overhang with a shorter retaining lip for a distinctive look and added versatility. The extra-long overhang creates a more pronounced tabletop appearance, while the shorter lip helps accommodate wire crates with limited clearance above the door. It’s a great option if you want the extended-edge design without the height of a taller retaining lip. Like all our wood crate toppers, it’s handmade to order in Virginia and finished with the same furniture-quality attention to detail.

Handmade to Fit Your Crate

Each topper is handmade to order in Virginia, with custom sizing available to help you get the right fit for your crate. Choose from available wood finishes or select the unfinished option, depending on the choices offered for this model.
