I want to make a raised dog bed out of this. Can I screw it into PVC pipes without it ripping? Is it very thick and durable?

I would believe so, it is thick but not to thick, but you will have to use grommets if your going to screw it to pvc pipe, this way it wont rip so easily. look up brass grommet set a get the proper size for the type of screws your going to use. hope this helps.

It's PVC like material and yes it's very easy to cut. I used a circular saw and a jig saw and neither one of them had a problem. Just don't do like I did and cut the wrong side. Their is a top and bottom, just read the instructions to figure that out.

Yes, it will hold up! I had it out for a couple of weeks before we moved from Colorado to Texas so my cats would be used to it, and they used it as a play tunnel running in and out and over it.

The mesh is not thick, but believe me it is durable! I bought this tunnel for my cat that does have claws, even with him playing in it, I've gotten no tears and very few claw holes. I would suggest this product because of its durability.

We have two of these. We have big dogs. The material is very strong. The weak point as it is with all these crates is the screening. If the dog paws at it it does rip. I have no complaints with it, especially for the price

I had sucess making one pretty easily out of PVC. Just heat and shape. Otherwise try Crazy Crow's Trading Post or Smokey Mountain Knife Works They both carry affordible options. My prefference would be one from Crazy Crow's. Hope this helps!

It's not rigid like wood or stiff plastic. It's thick material and is soft, more comfortable for your pet. That's not to say that it's flimsy by any means though. My dog is comfortable and secure in it.

The vinyl is pretty thick but I think a dogs claws could break it. I would not put a dog in this model.

My dog is a powerful chewer but hasn't chewed on the bed. I'm not sure how well it would hold up if she decided to chew it. The legs are made out of pretty solid pvc and the canvas is thick. The company has excellent customer service. I was missing a piece of the bed when I unpacked it (on the weekend). I sent an e-mail to the company and heard back from them the same day and they sent the missing parts out right away. Good luck.

It's not flimsy, but it is only one-ply. It seems to be the same thickness of other collars I have of the same material. I don't rivet, but sew in the pup's metal dog license (with an upholstery needle) and that wasn't a problem.

Unless you have a 40lb cat it should hold up. This is not made from any thin mesh, it's pretty rugged!

I would say it is tougher than any other dog bed. If your dog is intent on shredding it, that I'm sure it can be done. I don't think it's design appeals to chewers...just my opinion, but the material is attached in a way that would make it difficult to get their mouth on. Its a pretty tough & thick material anyway..and doesn't have a single snag, rip, or tear after my dog has trig to "dig" in it. She has never tried to chew on this..surprisingly enough, since she has shredded every blanket, bed, and pillow I've ever given her!

I don't see why you couldn't. It sturdy PVC you'll just need a hack saw. Got mine 3 years ago looks great still. Easy to put up.

Yes. I used it in buried PVC pipes. It is supposed to be capable of direct burial but I wanted it protected.

Look for something that is thick-walled as it will hold up longer in your garden. That said, realize that thinner-walled tubing will be easier to work with. Personally, I like to do this sort of job just once.

It's pretty thick vinyl. Unlikely to be punctured by a cat jumping up on it and gently using its claws for a little grip. But if the cat keeps its claws sharp and was actively clawing on it, it could puncture.

It's somene sort of bendable plastic covered wood. I'm sure it would break if stressed enough. If you have the tools & skills, I'm sure you can diy! It had holes, but as I remember, not enough. We didn't bother putting it on. The thing is so low to the ground, you can't really tell. If you have neat cables; no big deal!
