I guess you can call it a hybrid crate. I had a tight budget and did not have access to a table saw so we used 1x pine and dowel jointed them into H-frames for the walls. The base was made from lap jointed 2x4". To assemble the crate we used GRK 2 3/4" screws (an excellent product btw). Right now the interior walls are just cardboard but I would like to upgrade to coroplast soon.

I'll take some pictures this week on our install.
