measuring chart
The correlation between the measuring chart and actual construction of the cart. The first two measurements needed for determining the height of the cart is the A and D measurements. The difference between these two measurements is going to be the goal height of your cart. For example if A is 22" and D is 16" your goal height will be 19". The width of your cart only needs to be about a quarter inch wider than the widest point of the dog. Length of the cart is calculated by adding B and C + 3 1/2". So lets say B is 14" and C is 5". 19"+ 3 1/2" = 22 1/2". Three inches will be in the back for poop and tail clearance and the front of the cart only needs to go a half inch past the shoulder blades to allow room for screwing the straps into the side of the tubing cap on the front. On dogs over 60lbs I put 3/4" wooden dowel in every inch of the PVC for added strength.
