Every dog box we build starts on the shop floor in Seguin — patterned to your truck, TIG- or MIG-welded in aluminum or steel, and finished with the racks, doors and tie-downs that make a hunting rig actually work in the field. No kit boxes, no outsourced welding.

Whether you're running quail in the South Texas brush, axis and whitetail in the Hill Country, or retrievers on the Gulf Coast, your rig gets built the same way — diamond plate decking, vented kennel doors with secure latches, drain channels, and welded-in gun racks, gear racks and high-seat towers laid out to fit how your crew loads, hauls and hunts.

Pair the welded dog box with a fitted wrap tarp, marine-vinyl seat re-covers and matching gear bags — sewn under the same roof — and your truck rolls off the lot as one complete, weather-tight hunting rig.

Built for the dogs that hunt out of them

Do you build custom dog boxes for hunting trucks in Texas?

+

Yes — we weld custom aluminum and steel dog boxes sized to your specific truck bed (short bed, long bed, dually, flatbed). Vented doors, top storage, gun racks, gear racks and tie-downs are all built in-house in our Seguin, TX welding and canvas shop.

Aluminum or steel — which is better for a hunting truck dog box?

+

Aluminum is the most popular choice — lighter weight, naturally corrosion-resistant, and easier on fuel mileage. Steel is the right call for heavy-duty ranch use, bigger framed dogs, or when the rig will see years of hard work and you want maximum durability. We build both, and we'll recommend the right material for your hunt.

Can you weld in a gun rack and top storage on the dog box?

+

Yes — locking gun racks, top storage compartments with weather-sealed lids, removable gear racks for coolers and decoy bags, and tie-down rails for shock cords or ratchet straps. Pair the box with our hunting & fishing canvas, gear bags and truck wrap tarps for a complete rig.

Do you build dog boxes for mule buggies, UTVs and side-by-sides?

+

Yes — scaled-down aluminum dog boxes for Polaris Ranger, Can-Am Defender, Kawasaki Mule, John Deere Gator and similar UTVs and side-by-sides, plus mule buggy and lease vehicle dog boxes. Pair with our roll-down UTV weather curtains for cold-weather hunts.

Do you build the rest of the hunting truck — upholstery, wrap tarps, gear bags?

+

Yes. We're a full canvas + welding shop, so we can build the dog box, re-cover the seats in marine vinyl, sew a fitted wrap tarp, and stitch up matching hunting gear bags, shell carriers and dog hunting belt accessories — all under one roof in Seguin.

What Texas areas do you serve for custom dog boxes and hunting truck builds?

+

We're based in Seguin and build for hunters across Central Texas, South Texas, the Hill Country and the Gulf Coast — including San Antonio, New Braunfels, Boerne, Kerrville, Fredericksburg, Austin, Houston and Corpus Christi.
